Abstract:BackgroundAccurate detection of influenza virus in clinical samples requires correct execution of all aspects of the detection test. If the viral load in a sample is below the detection limit, a false negative result may be obtained. To overcome this issue, we developed a modified transport medium (MTM) for clinical sample transportation to increase viral detection sensitivity.MethodWe first validated the MTM using laboratory-stocked influenza A viruses (IAVs: H1N1, H3N2, H7N3, H9N2) and influenza B viruses (I… Show more
