BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major risk factor for adenocarcinoma of the cervix. The high-risk types of the virus such as HPV16 and HPV18, which possess the E6 and E7 oncogenes, are responsible for approximately 50% of all cervical cancers. A rapid, sensitive and specific test has been proposed for detection of HPV to improve cervical cancer screening prog...

Adenoviruses (AdVs) types 40 and 41 are the causative agents of diarrhea in children. Hence, rapid sensitive and specific detection of these viruses are of clinical importance. The customary methods such as propagation of virus in cell culture suffer from limitations. Detection of immobilized amplified products in a one phase system (DIAPOPS) method has the potential to overcome these problems....
