They usually prefer serological tests..like detection of antibodies(esp igM) AND observation under EM.

ELISA is the only choice that allows to detect antibodies.
northern blot analyzes RNA
pcr is for dna amplification
southern blot - to detect specific dna fragments
and substractive hybridization has to do with cDNA libraries
