High Risk HPV Multiplex Assay Clinically Validated
Persistent infection with at least one of the high-risk carcinogenic human papillomavirus types is the primary risk factor for the development of cervical cancer and HPV is found in virtually all cases of cervical cancer and precursor lesions. More...04 Apr 2016
Emerging Blood-Borne Bacteria Found in Blood Donors
Bartonella species cause chronic and intermittent intra-erythrocytic bacteremia and infect endothelial cells of both incidental and natural reservoir hosts. The establishment of chronic, stealth infection is achieved by evasion of innate immune responses. More...04 Apr 2016
Novel Malaria Test Sets a New Gold Standard for Diagnosis
Despite a 60% decline in malaria deaths since 2000, because of better prevention and increased control measures, malaria is still one of the top three killers of children worldwide claiming one life every minute of every day. More...03 Apr 2016
Dried Cerebrospinal Fluid Spots Detect Anti-Japanese Encephalitis IgM
The use of filter paper as a simple, inexpensive tool for storage and transportation of blood, “Dried Blood Spots” or Guthrie cards, for diagnostic assays is well-established, but in contrast, there are a paucity of diagnostic evaluations of dried cerebrospinal fluid spots. More...29 Mar 2016
