Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Chagas Disease Field Evaluated
Chagas disease, caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is the neglected tropical disease exerting a highest burden in the Western hemisphere. It is estimated that there are around seven million people affected worldwide, the majority of them living in Latin America where the insect vectors that transmit the infection are endemic.

Fast and Inexpensive Device Captures and Identifies Viruses
Currently, virologists estimate that 1.67 million unknown viruses are in animals, a number of which can be transmitted to humans. Known viruses, such as H5N1, Zika and Ebola have caused widespread illness and death. Early detection could halt virus spread by enabling rapid deployment of countermeasures. More...07 Jan 2020
Paper-Based Test Could Diagnose Lyme Disease at Early Stages
Caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne infectious disease in North America and Europe and timely diagnosis and treatment are effective in preventing disease progression. More...01 Jan 2020
Circulating Trophoblast-Based Noninvasive Prenatal Testing Are Feasible
Circulating cells from the fetus or placenta in a pregnant woman’s blood, primarily trophoblasts and nucleated fetal red blood cells (fnRBCs), have long been appreciated as potential targets for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and diagnosis. More...26 Dec 2019
A Rapid Method for Isolating Viral DNA-enriched Salivary Exosomes for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Oropharyngeal Cancer
A novel method, based on the combination of microfluidics and acoustics, for concentrating exosomes containing viral DNA from the saliva of oropharyngeal cancer patients was found to be 15 times more sensitive than the current gold standard differential centrifugation method. More...24 Dec 2019
High Performance of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Test Validated
Influenza is a leading infectious cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Annually, about 5% to 10% of adults and 20% to 30% of children have symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI), and approximately 650,000 deaths secondary to influenza occur each epidemic season. More...19 Dec 2019
