ABSTRACT

Three molecular assays (FTD® Viral GE from Fast-track diagnostics, RIDA®GENE VSP1 from R-Biopharm, and Xpert Norovirus from Cepheid) were compared for virus detection in acute diarrhea samples. RIDA®GENE and FTD® Viral GE showed perfect/almost perfect agreement for Rotavirus, Sapovirus and Norovirus, substantial agreement for Adenovirus, and moderate agreement for Astrovirus.
