Research abstract
In this project, VecTOR Test Systems, Inc (VTS) will complete the development and commercialize Rapid Diagnostic Devices (RDD) capable of detecting dengue (DEN) and Rift Valley fever (RVF) viruses in mosquitoes. In addition, VTS will develop a prototype RDD for the detection of RVF virus in veterinary samples. VTS will optimize down-selected DEN and RVF virus assays in order to ensure assays meet requirements. Upon successful completion of independent developmental (laboratory) test and evaluation (DT & E), VTS will provide sufficient number of assays to conduct independent operational (field) test and evaluation (OT & E) required to validate the performance of the assay. Success in performance will allow Armed Forces Pest Management Board to recommend assignment of National Stock Numbers for the Dengue and RVF virus vector tests. RVF virus veterinary assay will detect presence of antigen and RVFV-specific antibody in animal tissue, sera and blood including samples derived from aborted fetuses and slaughtered animals.
