Real-Time PCR to Identify Variola Virus or Other Human Pathogenic Orthopox Viruses
Real-Time PCR to Identify Variola Virus or Other Human Pathogenic Orthopox Viruses is a scholarly work by Daniel Garin, Jean-Marc Crance, Anne-Laure Favier, and Natale Scaramozzino, published in 2007 in ''Clinical Chemistry''. The main subjects of the publication include biological warfare, mpox, Poxviridae, smallpox, RNA silencing, cowpox, Orthopoxvirus, vaccinia virus, virology, Variola virus (vaccinia), and biology. The authors then tested positive samples with the specific orthopoxvirus-specific probe 14-kD POX to identify monkeypox, cowpox, and vaccinia viruses and with the 14-kD VAR probe to identify variola viruses.
