En el caso de detección genómica, es posible usar biosensores ópticos (basados en tecnología microelectrónica) para la detección directa de los fragmentos del ARN [ácido ribonucleico] del virus […] Esta tecnología ofrece niveles de sensibilidad extremadamente altos, lo que permite evitar la amplificación, reduciendo tiempo de análisis a pocos minutos, minimizando la influencia de la contaminación (al eludir también la amplificación, aumentando la reproducibilidad), y ofreciendo valores cuantitativos, por tanto, correlacionando el resultado con una mayor o menor cantidad de material genómico, y por tanto, de carga viral. 1, record 1, Spanish, - carga%20viral

viral load, viral burden: Widely used to refer to "blood plasma viral load", these terms can also refer to the "total body viral load" or to the "viral load" in different components of the human body.

Le terme [...] charge virale plasmatique est habituellement utilisé pour désigner la virémie plasmatique[, c'est-à‑dire] la concentration de virus ou d'équivalents viraux présents dans la circulation sanguine. Elle s'exprime en copies par millilitre ou en équivalents particules (ou en équivalents génomes) par ml. C'est le reflet, imparfait, de l'activité réplicative du virus. 5, record 2, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique

charge virale sanguine : Au sens strict, la «charge virale sanguine» comprend la charge virale dans le plasma sanguin et dans les cellules sanguines (et elle est rarement mesurée en clinique). Il est donc préférable d'utiliser le terme exact de «charge virale plasmatique». 6, record 2, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique

charge virale : Bien que de nombreux auteurs emploient couramment «charge virale» pour désigner la «charge virale plasmatique», il est préférable d'utiliser le terme exact «charge virale plasmatique» pour éviter toute confusion avec la «charge virale» dans d'autres liquides, par exemple, la salive (charge virale salivaire), ainsi que les liquides séminal (charge virale séminale), amniotique et céphalo-rachidien. 6, record 2, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique
