Detecting emerging and re-emerging viral pathogens is crucial for public health. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches can permit the unbiased identification of known and novel viral infectious agents, high levels of contaminating human nucleic acids reduce the method's analytical sensitivity. A hybridization-based target enrichment strategy can overcome this limitation.
