Nanopore Sequencing Enables Outbreak Field Surveillance
Outbreaks of fever of unknown origin start with nonspecific symptoms and case definition is only slowly developed and adapted, therefore, identifying the causative agent is crucial to ensure suitable treatment and control measures. More...03 Oct 2018
Integrated LAMP and Immunoassay Platform Detect Diarrheal Disease
The challenges of diagnosing infectious disease, especially in the developing world, and the shortcomings of available instrumentation have exposed the need for portable, easy-to-use diagnostic tools capable of detecting the wide range of causative microbes while operating in low resource settings. More...26 Sep 2018
Magnetic Nanoparticle Tool Developed to Detect MicroRNA
A magnetic nanoparticle-based technique has been developed to directly detect microRNA (miRNA) in unprocessed whole blood samples in about thirty minutes. Currently scientists use quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to profile miRNA due to its usually high specificity and sensitivity. More...12 Sep 2018
Simple Paper Test Detects False or Substandard Antibiotics
In the developing world, the manufacture and the distribution of substandard, non-legitimate medicines is widespread. It has been estimated that up to 10% of all drugs worldwide could be falsified with up to 50% of those some form of antibiotics. More...04 Sep 2018
