K-State researcher, collaborators study virulence of pandemic H1N1 virus Jul 31, 2009
Richt said they are developing diagnostic tools for the direct detection of the virus by finding nucleic acids or other parts of the virus in a sample, as well as tools for indirect detection. The latter approach is done by creating diagnostics that detect antibodies produced by animals infected with the virus. (EurekAlert!)
