Banna Virus Detected by Reverse Transcription-Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
Banna virus (BAV) has been isolated from a diverse group of vertebrates and invertebrates, including mosquitos, ticks, midges, cattle, and pigs from different regions in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. BAV is considered to be an emerging pathogen that can result in human infections with possible manifestation of fever and viral encephalitis. More...25 Dec 2018
POC Diagnostic Differentiates Ebola from Endemic Febrile Diseases
Hemorrhagic fever outbreaks such as Ebola are difficult to detect and control because of the lack of low-cost, easily deployable diagnostics and because initial clinical symptoms mimic other endemic diseases such as malaria. More...24 Dec 2018
Rapid Malaria Diagnostic Test Detects Placental Infection
Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic infections in humans. It is endemic throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and is responsible for more than 200 million clinical cases and more than 400,000 deaths each year. More...19 Dec 2018
Plasmodium vivax Isolated in Duffy Negative Individuals
Malaria in Nigeria is principally due to Plasmodium falciparum and, to a lesser extent to P. malariae and P. ovale. P. vivax is thought to be absent in Nigeria in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general, due to the near fixation of the Duffy negative gene in this population. More...12 Dec 2018
MALDI-TOF MS Identifies Oomycete Causing Pythiosis
Pythiosis is an invasive, difficult-to-treat, life-threatening infectious disease caused by Pythium insidiosum, a member of the unique group of fungus-like microorganisms called oomycetes. The disease has been increasingly reported worldwide. More...12 Dec 2018
