Molecular characterization of human enteroviruses in clinical samples: Comparison between VP2, VP1, and RNA polymerase regions using RT nested PCR assays and direct sequencing of products
TLDR
Three nested RT‐PCR assays were developed to permit sensitive typing of enteroviruses directly from clinical samples and showed the highest yield of correlation between nucleotide sequences of all prototype serotypes and the analyzed genotypes in the VP1 region.

Detection and identification of Toscana and other phleboviruses by RT‐nested‐PCR assays with degenerated primers
TLDR
A novel and useful protocol has been developed for the detection and specific identification of every member of the phlebovirus genus present in a sample, including Toscana virus, based on a generic RT‐nested‐PCR, followed by sequencing of the amplified fragment.

Genetic Characterization of West Nile Virus Lineage 2, Greece, 2010
TLDR
The West Nile virus detected in Culex pipiens mosquitoes during a severe outbreak of human West Nile disease in Greece 2010 showed closest genetic relationship to the lineage 2 strain that emerged in Hungary in 2004.

Putative New Lineage of West Nile Virus, Spain
TLDR
To ascertain the presence of West Nile virus (WNV), mosquitoes were sampled in 2006 in locations in southern Spain where humans had been infected and this sequence cannot be assigned to previously described lineages of WNV.
