I mean how to identify an unknown virus from a clinical sample, may be when there is an outbreak of a disease, in which the causative organism is not known, but is suspected to be a viral disease. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
You can prefer to take a little sample and go for Electron Microcopy which will prove the presence of virus distinctly from the bacterial infections. Apart from this, you can conclude upon the Family of the virus be observing its morphology in the electron micrograph and do PCR for identification of the specific family, go for sequencing and design primers specific for the new virus and use it for regular PCR detection which will be cheap and robust. I hope it answers your questions. Good luck.
Thank you very much Sneha Singh, am very greatful for your kindness and support.
