ZCD Detection Kit (ZIKV, CHIKV, DENV) 

Real-Time OneStep RT-PCR based assay system for detection of Zika virus, Chikungunya virus and Dengue virus

Pathogen Information

ZIKA virus, like Dengue, Yellow fever, West-Nile, and Japanese encephalitis viruses, is a member of the virus family Flavivirus, which is known as a virus causing mosquito-borne infectious diseases including Dengue fever, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis. It has been known that body infection by Zika virus often causes only mild symptoms compared with other mosquito-borne infectious diseases and not been recognized as a serious disease. In particular, as Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus occur in the same area as Zika virus occur, it is essential to distinguish them from Zika virus and detect. Therefore, supply of kit capable of rapidly distinguishing, detecting and dragonizing infection with Zika virus, Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus is judged to be able to contribute to alleviate the currently rampant incidence of Zika virus.
