West Nile Virus RNA

[Shylirin]

I don't know of any sources since I have to send all West Nile testing to a
reference lab... sorry!  I assume you have tried calling the company that
manufactured the PCR assay to see if they recommend a control... barring
that, I would recommend a Google search as well.  I found several
laboratories there that are running a WNV RT-PCR assay and may be able to
help.

Good Luck,
