Development of a duplex real-time PCR method for the detection of influenza C and D viruses

Abstract Influenza viruses are major respiratory pathogens known to infect human and a variety of animals and are widely prevalent worldwide. Genome structure of influenza D virus (IDV) is identical to that of influenza C virus (ICV), and phylogenetic analyses suggest that IDV and ICV share a common...
