Disease characteristics in these families mark each with the potential to be used as a biological threat agent. Because other diseases have similar clinical symptoms, specific laboratory diagnostic tests are necessary to provide the differential diagnosis during outbreaks and for instituting acceptable quarantine procedures. We designed 48 TaqMan\u2122-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for specific and absolute quantitative detection of multiple hemorrhagic fever viruses. Forty-six assays were determined to be virus-specific, and two were designated as pan assays for Marburg virus. The limit of detection for the assays ranged from 10 to 0.001 plaque-forming units (PFU)\/PCR. Although these real-time hemorrhagic fever virus assays are qualitative (presence of target), they are also quantitative (measure a single DNA\/RNA target sequence in an unknown sample and express the final results as an absolute value (e.g., viral load, PFUs, or copies\/mL) on the basis of concentration of standard samples and can be used in viral load, vaccine, and antiviral drug studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2010.09-0636","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,4]],"date-time":"2010-05-04T01:02:37Z","timestamp":1272934957000},"page":"954-960","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":202,"title":["Comprehensive
