Test tells Zika and Dengue infections apart
6 December 2017
A fast and cost-effective test developed by an international team of researchers could make it easier to diagnose the Zika and dengue viruses. The test uses a strip of chromatography paper similar to that used in rapid pregnancy tests. The strip is immersed in a solution containing a small amount of blood from the infected person, and results are ready in 15 minutes.
