RT-PCR boosts PBV detection in piglets; leaves open zoonotic links to human strains for future surveillance.
A newly developed RT-PCR assay demonstrates that porcine picobirnaviruses are genetically diverse, related to human strains, and circulate at high frequencies in piglets.
Carruyo et al. (2008) studied this question.
