Research abstract
VecTOR Test Systems proposes to produce the Dengue Panel antigen assay, the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) antigen assay, the Ross River Virus antigen assay and the Rift Valley Virus antigen assay. The proposed assays will be performed in a rapid, one-step immuno-chromatographic process for identification of Dengue serotype-1, -2, -3 and -4 viruses, JE, Ross River or the Rift valley viruses in vectoring mosquitoes. The technology is based on the simple and reliable wicking immuno-chromatographic detection.method by which sensitive test-strip based panel assays provide results in less than 30 minutes. The proposed dipstick assays will be stable at ambient storage conditions. During Phase I, a sufficient number of tests will be produced for laboratory and preliminary field evaluation. The proposed VecTOR Antigen assays will complement the commercially available VecTestTM (VecTest is a trademark of Medical Anlaysis Sytems, Inc) panel or individual rapid assay for detection of mosquito-borne pathogens such as Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum and vivax CS Panel assays), Encephalitis (SLE, WEE, EEE) and West Nile virus antigen assays. _____________________________________________________________________
