Genetic Variation Associated with Influenza Severity Identified
It is estimated that in the USA influenza -related deaths in recent years have ranged from 12,000 to 56,000. Factors like age, obesity, pregnancy and such chronic health conditions as asthma, chronic lung disease and heart disease are associated with an elevated risk of complications and death.

New Test Distinguishes Zika from Similar Viral Infections
Zika is a mosquito-borne disease and is linked to severe congenital birth defects. Assays already exist to detect Zika virus infection, but they either work only shortly after infection or are poor at differentiating Zika from other flaviviruses. More...02 Aug 2017
Powassan Virus Diagnosed in Patients with Tick-Borne Diseases
Powassan virus (POWV) lineage II, also known as deer tick virus, is an emerging tick-borne flavivirus transmitted by Ixodes scapularis ticks, which are also the primary vector for the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. More...02 Aug 2017
Lipid-ELISA Improves Detection of Potential PD Biomarker
Researchers have developed a novel diagnostic approach for Parkinson’s Disease (PD), which enabled assaying of total alpha-synuclein in whole blood cells (WBC), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and saliva. The new ELISA assay could lead to early diagnosis and improved monitoring of PD progression and patient response to therapy. More...31 Jul 2017
Immunoassay Systems Compared for Trisomy Screenings
The biochemical serum markers free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCGβ) and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) are used in screening for trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18), and trisomy 13 (T13) during the first trimester. More...25 Jul 2017
