Virology theses follow the seasonal and endemic infections that strain Indian hospitals. The sample titles compare dengue NS1, IgM ELISA and RT-PCR, serotype circulating dengue strains, examine chikungunya co-infection and hepatitis E in pregnancy, detect occult hepatitis B in blood donors, genotype HPV in cervical lesions, monitor CMV in renal transplant recipients and look at enteric and respiratory viruses in children.

Molecular tests drive most of these questions, so confirm access to a PCR laboratory, ideally a VRDL, and the kit cost per sample. Timing of collection relative to symptom onset strongly affects antigen, antibody and PCR results. Seasonal diseases such as dengue may need more than one transmission season to recruit. Cold chain and sample storage must be planned from the start.

4Tips for a Virology thesis

  • Record the day of illness at sampling for every patient, because NS1, IgM and PCR positivity change rapidly during the first week of dengue.
  • Classify dengue severity by WHO criteria, and run RT-PCR serotyping on samples taken early in illness, when viral RNA is most likely to be detectable.
  • Store aliquots deep-frozen and avoid repeated thawing, and include extraction and internal controls in every PCR run to detect inhibition or failed extraction.
