The inactivation of specimens, reliant on the detection protocol used, should be completed under BSL3 conditions. For non-inactivated samples, RT PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing can be performed at a BSL3 laboratory. If samples have been inactivated (i.e. cell lysis) RT PCR and ELISA testing can be performed at a BSL2 laboratory. Laboratory diagnosis: Laboratory results should…
Humans and animals have lived together since the beginning of humanity. Everywhere humans are found in America and the world, there is a high guarantee that some species of animal is found close by.
