Purdue Researchers Develop a New Avian Influenza Test

(NAFB.com) – Purdue University researchers have developed an innovative, paper-based diagnostic test for rapidly detecting avian influenza. The novel test addresses the urgent need for an efficient and cost-effective surveillance tool to combat the global threat posed by avian influenza viruses. The test is suitable for use in field settings, including areas with limited access to advanced laboratory facilities. A key advantage of the test is it…

New rapid detection test could help combat HPAI - Brownfield Ag News

Researchers at Purdue University have created a rapid detection test that could help poultry producers combat highly pathogenic avian influenza faster.  Mohit Verma, associate professor of ag and biological engineering, says it detects the H5 strain of the virus.  “We put all of these reagents that are needed for this assay on these paper-based devices […] The post New rapid detection test could help combat HPAI appeared first on Brownfield Ag N…

Precision Pathogen Detection: Argonaute Powers a New Era of Biosensing

In the global fight against infectious disease threats—from SARS-CoV-2 and influenza to drug-resistant bacteria—rapid, sensitive, and field-ready diagnostic tools are urgently needed. A newly published study in Pathogens offers a [...] Read the rest of Precision Pathogen Detection: Argonaute Powers a New Era of Biosensing at Global Biodefense
