Conclusion
Trascrizione
The nested RT-PCR has been developed to detect all Lyssaviruses, including all 16 ICTV approved and two novel Lyssavirus species. The validation of this method has been proved by using over 9000 animal brain specimens in 10 years of clinical rabie

A pan-lyssavirus nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction has been developed to detect specifically all known lyssaviruses. Validation using rabies brain samples of different animal species showed that this method has a sensitivity and specificity equivalent to the gold standard fluorescent antibody test and could be used for routine rabies diagnosis.
