Rapid Antigenic Diagnostic Test Validated for Ebola Virus Disease

 Hemorrhagic fever outbreaks are difficult to diagnose and control in part because of a lack of low-cost and easily accessible diagnostic structures in countries where etiologic agents are present. Initial clinical symptoms are common and shared with other endemic diseases such as malaria or typhoid fever. More...
