Ebola virus detection kit developed in China approved production | Ebola _ news

Newspaper Beijing August 20 electric (Shen Jifei, and Wang Junping) reporter 20th from military medical Academy understanding to, by the homes radiation and radiation Medical Institute according to Egyptian Bo pulled virus gene sequence developed, has independent intellectual property of "Egyptian Bo pulled virus nucleic acid detection reagents" through General Logistics Department Ministry of health expert review, and obtained official production approval, will in Shenzhen puruikang bio technology limited production, thus for China Egyptian Bo pulled virus of early diagnosis and control provides important technology reserves.

The kit uses the "composite probe" technology from Wang Sheng Kai researcher and his team of the new nucleic acid detection patent, has won the 2010 army science and technology progress Award and the 2011 State technological invention award. Developed using the technique of swine, H7N9 influenza viruses, "superbugs" resistant gene detection reagents such as NDM-1 have first army special certificate or certificate of State registration, for new outbreaks of infectious diseases prevention and control in China has made due contributions.

The Ebola virus belongs to the fourth on Biosafety-level virus, infection rates of up to 90%, much higher than the death rate of SARS virus 10%, on the global market today is neither a vaccine nor the miracle drug and, therefore, it is extremely important to early diagnosis and epidemic control.
