Determination of the zoonotic potential of feline, bovine and equine foamy virus
| 1 | Establishing species‐specific and group‐specific screening systems for high‐throughput analysis of human serum samples (e.g. enzyme‐ linked immuno‐sorbent assay, ELISA) |
| 2 | Establishing confirmatory, species‐specific serological test (e.g. immuno‐blotting tests) |
| 3 | Establishing independent, PCR‐based detection systems |
| 4 | Testing of samples from individuals with increased exposition probability |
| 5 | Testing of samples from patients where exposition to cat, bovine, or equine viruses has been implicated in disease |
