Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Hepatitis A Virus in Representative Food Matrices
Journal of Virological Methods, 2008
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is an important cause of foodborne disease worldwide. The detection of this virus in naturally contaminated food products is complicated by the absence of a reliable culture method and the presence of matrix-associated compounds that inhibit molecular detection. The study describes detection of HAV in food matrices, and the results are published in the Journal of Virological Methods (2008;147:177–187).
