Zika ELISA & IIFT Available Now

EUROIMMUN Zika Virus ELISA and IIFT tests

Euroimmun's ELISA and IIFT tests can detect both acute infections (in most cases from the fifth day after onset of symptoms) and past infections. Test systems for direct virus detection (e.g. PCR) are only able to detect infections up to five days after onset of symptoms - after this, the virus itself is no longer detectable.

This is based on very specific recombinant NS1 antigens, which are produced in Euroimmun laboratories. Reduced cross-reactivity to other flaviviruses (including TBEV or YFV vaccinated patients) allows for very high specificity. Positive results are a clear indicator of infection.
98-100% specificity (Huzly et al)
100% sensitivity, 97% specificity (Dr Gosink)
100% agreement with CDC MAC-ELISA, no cross-reactions with sera from early convalescent stage dengue infections (100% specificity), or with sera from suspected secondary Dengue infections (100% specificity) (Granger et al)
This ELISA is used by the WHO Collaboration Centre in Hamburg, Germany (Frank et al)

IIFT Arbovirus Fever Mosaic 2 (IgG/IgM)

This mosaic allows for investigation of other viral fever diseases in parallel. This is helpful for differential diagnosis, given the similarity in symptoms and transmission with Dengue and Chikungunya.
96-99% sensitivity, 95-100% specificity (Dr Gosink).
