provide a large portion of the sequence information with a single assay. Human diarrheal diseases cause a significant disease burden; an estimated 1.8 million deaths in children under the age of five are caused by gastroenteritis annually. Gastroenteritis is the third leading cause of death due to infection, yet, about 40% of cases are of unknown etiology. Universal detection of viruses with an assay as it was described here could lead to the detection of known yet unsuspected viruses or the discovery of novel viruses.
