Severe Hantavirus Disease Associated with Low Serum TGF-β Levels
Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens which cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, an immune-mediated pathogenesis, and the role of transforming growth factor-β expression in acute Hantavirus infection has been investigated. More...27 Apr 2015
Hepatitis C Assay Receives European In Vitro Diagnostic Test Certification
Laboratories that adhere to the European Directive on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices will now be able to work with a quantitative test that provides on-demand molecular testing for confirmation of infection and monitoring of Hepatitis C virus. More...27 Apr 2015
Device Diagnostics of Fixed Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infection Assessed
Kato-Katz is a widely used method for the diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth infection, but fecal samples cannot be preserved, and hence, should be processed on the day of collection and examined under a microscope within 60 minutes of slide preparation. More...26 Apr 2015
Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test Evaluated At Point-Of-Care
For over a decade, the development of malaria rapid diagnostic tests has enabled reliable biological diagnostic testing in all situations where previously only clinical diagnosis was available. These RDTs are generally considered as point-of-care tests. More...22 Apr 2015
