Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Enterovirus, a genus of single-stranded RNA viruses of the family Picornaviridae that includes polio and nonpolio (e.g., coxsackieviruses and echoviruses) enteroviruses, by detecting the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the target virus. These viruses may cause a wide range of diseases, including poliomyelitis (the etiologic agents are wild type polioviruses), aseptic meningitis, and encephalitis (caused by several types of coxsackieviruses and echoviruses), as well as chronic meningoencephalitis (caused by several types of echoviruses).
