Direct Molecular Assay Developed for Zika Diagnosis

Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne Flavivirus, is a positive single-stranded RNA virus with a nucleic acid length of about 10.7kb. This virus has been spreading rapidly and there have been large-scale outbreaks worldwide in recent years. ZIKV has drawn attention as it may cause severe symptoms while no specific medical treatment or vaccine is currently available. More...
