Research abstract
VecTOR Test Systems, Inc. will develop a rapid multiplexed detection hand-held assay capable of simultaneously determining whether mosquitoes are infected with CHIKV, WNV, and/or Dengue. Developed tests will quickly and accurately determine whether mosquitoes are infected with CHIKV, WNV, and/or Dengue, to minimize the impact of the disease. The technology is based on the simple and reliable immunochromatographic detection method by which sensitive test-strip based assays provide results in less than 30 minutes. The proposed assays will be easy to perform and results easy to interpret in far-forward situations. The assay will be made available in a kit with components required to perform the assay. The assay kit will be stable at ambient storage conditions.
