ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for detecting West Nile Virus (WNV) in a sample by detecting nucleic acids having been amplified and comprising the coding region of the membrane protein of WNV. Further, a method and a kit for the detection of amplified nucleic acids comprising the coding region of the membrane protein of WNV are disclosed.
