Abstract

Development of alternative methods for virus detection which provide results in shorter time and with easier preparation methods (e.g. simple incubation at 65C in a heat block or water bath). Such methods would be invaluable to those in resource-poor settingsbut require clinically validation before being used in screening programmes.
