Abstract Background PCR-based detection and identification of viruses assumes a known relatively stable genome. Unfortunately high mutation rates may lead to extensive changes in viral nucleic acid sequences making dedicated PCR primer use problematic. Furthermore in bioterrorism viral consensus sequences can be genetically modified as a countermeasure to RT-PCR and DNA chip detection. Accordingly there is a great need for the development of rapid and universal virus detection and identification technologies. Results We report herein that viral genomic DNA or RNA can be separated from host nucleic acids in plasma by filtration and nuclease digestion and randomly amplified in a single PCR using a mixture of primers designed to be resistant to primer-dimer amplification 5 -VVVVVVVVAA-3 V A G or C 38 or 6561 primers . We have termed this novel PCR method Random Multiplex RT -PCR since hundreds of overlapping PCR .
