Patent ID: 7351819

Claim:
A method of detecting a Norwalk-like virus (GII) in a sample comprising: (a) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction on a sample using at least two oligonucleotide primers, wherein a first oligonucleotide primer comprises a nucleotide sequence of at least 10 consecutive nucleotides of a region consisting of nucleotides 138 to 178 of the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:14 and a second oligonucleotide primer comprises a nucleotide sequence complementary to at least 10 consecutive nucleotides of a region consisting of nucleotides 230 to 257 of the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:14, and (b) detecting an amplification product, thereby detecting a Norwalk-like virus (GII) in a sample.
