The test is able to detect members of the currently known species in the genus reptarenavirus, which are: Giessen reptarenavirus, California reptarenavirus, Golden reptarenavirus, Golden Gate Virus, Ordinary reptardnavirus, and Rotterdam reptarenavirus, which are currently listed in ICTV. Of these, Giessen reptarenavirus is most common and has been hypothesized to be involved in disease development. There maybe other unclassified / mutated strains which may or may not be detected by the test.
