How was the virus detected?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Detection of double stranded RNA is a characteristic feature of viruses and this is often used to identify them. Other options such as the presence of antibodies or viral proteins are only indicative of previous or current infection but may not necessarily help in the initial detection of the virus. Signs of infection or the ability to grow at a certain temperature are also not specific to viruses and may not always be reliable as diagnostic tools.
