GASTROINTESTINAL VIRUSES

Viral infections are usually much more contagious than bacterial infections, including intestinal viruses. The symptoms of infection are often very similar, so for accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to perform the Real-Time PCR test. In this post, we describe the most common gastrointestinal viruses. Norovirus GI/GII noroviruses are a common cause of gastrointestinal infections, especially […]

ANALYSIS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BASE OF CORONAVIRUS GENOMES

Each new virus genome carries information about the history of its mutation. The mutating frequency, correlated with the sequencing results of a given virus strain, even allows the path of infection to be reconstructed. In this article, we describe the result of a bioinformatics analysis devoted to the results of sequencing SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus from around […]
