Two diagnostic procedures for early detection of viral infection are -

i) Recombinant DNA technology

ii)Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

iii) Enzyme-Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA)

PRINCIPLE OF PCR -

Amplifies a specific nucleic acid sequence exponentially producing billions of copies. Very low concentration of a bacteria or virus (at a time when the symptoms of the disease are not yet visible) can be detected by amplification of their nucleic acid by PCR.
