Claims10
A composition for amplifying and detecting a Zika virus nucleic acid sequence, which comprises a forward oligonucleotide primer, a reverse oligonucleotide primer, and an oligonucleotide probe, wherein the forward oligonucleotide primer comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, the reverse oligonucleotide primer comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3, and the oligonucleotide probe comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5 and a detectable label.
A kit for amplifying and detecting a Zika virus nucleic acid sequence, which comprises:
- (a) a forward oligonucleotide primer comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1,
- (b) a reverse oligonucleotide primer comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3,
- (c) an oligonucleotide probe comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5 and a detectable label, and
- (d) reagents and instructions for amplifying and detecting a Zika virus nucleic acid sequence.
