Abstract

Following detection of a novel virus, rapid characterization efforts (both in vitro and in vivo ) are undertaken at numerous laboratories worldwide to evaluate the relative risk posed to human health. Aggregation of these data are critical, but the use of nonstandardized protocols can make interpretation of divergent results a challenge.
