The ZDC Multiplex RT-PCR Assay (Research Use Only) is a one-step reverse-transcription, real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection and quantification of ZIKV, DENV, and CHIKV RNAs

Treatment prevents virus from crossing placenta to infect fetus, mouse study shows

A UF/IFAS research team collected 20 female and 19 male Aedes albopictus mosquitoes as eggs, raised them to adults and tested the adults for the Zika virus RNA

Multi-institutional team reports a method—called 3D genome assembly—that can create a human reference genome, entirely from scratch, for less than $10,000

Sandia prototype dramatically cuts cost, time for detection of mosquito-borne illness

DNA of a common insect parasite could help fight dengue, Zika, and malaria

Using unique mouse model, researchers believe they can develop treatment or vaccine targets in order to fight virus

The findings are key to unraveling the mysteries of why the Zika virus causes birth defects
