Digital PCR for Quantifying Norovirus in Oysters Implicated in Outbreaks, France.

ABSTRACT: Using samples from oysters clearly implicated in human disease, we quantified norovirus levels by using digital PCR. Concentrations varied from 43 to 1,170 RNA copies/oyster. The analysis of frozen samples from the production area showed the presence of norovirus 2 weeks before consumption.
