Haematology Analyzer Prototype Tested for Field Malaria Surveillance
Simple and accurate diagnosis is a key component of malaria control programmes. Microscopy is the current gold standard, however it requires extensive training and the results largely rely on the skill of the microscopists. More...15 Sep 2022
Test Combination Detects Latent Leishmaniasis Infection
After infection with Leishmania infantum cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis can develop, but in most cases the host becomes an asymptomatic carrier of the parasite. This key population of individuals with latent leishmaniasis can undergo reactivation of the infection with severe outcome in case of immunosuppression and can contribute to disease transmission.

Mechanism Behind Deadly Fungal Infection with Influenza or Covid-19 Deciphered
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide end up in intensive care with influenza or Covid-19. About 15% of them develop an additional lung infection with the common fungus Aspergillus (aspergillosis). More...31 Aug 2022
Recombinant Antigens Assessed for Serological Diagnosis of Syphilis
Syphilis is a chronic multisystemic disease caused by infection with the spirochete Treponema pallidum and acquired usually via sexual exposure or via vertical mother–fetus transmission or by blood transfusions. An estimated 18 million cases worldwide and 5.6 million new cases occur annually. More...09 Aug 2022
Different Kits and PCR Methods Evaluated for Malaria Diagnosis
Malaria is an infectious disease considered as one of the biggest causes of mortality in endemic areas. This life-threatening disease needs to be quickly diagnosed and treated. The standard diagnostic tools are thick blood smears microscopy and immuno-chromatographic rapid diagnostic tests. More...13 Jul 2022
Near-Patient Sepsis Triage Test Provides Results in 20 Minutes
A new test for sepsis triage that measures Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is designed to provide accurate, reliable results in approximately 20 minutes from ‘sample-to-result’ and help medical professionals make earlier and better triage/treatment decisions. More...08 Jul 2022
