MultNAT® Dengue Zika and Chikungunya Virus Assay
Ongoing Challanges
- Chikungunya and dengue are viruses most commonly transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Anyone who lives in or has traveled to an area where chikungunya or dengue viruses are found is at risk for infection.
- Zika infection is a cause of microcephaly and other congenital malformations and can cause neurological disease in children and adults.
- Dengue and Zika have similar symptoms to chikungunya, making chikungunya easy to misdiagnose.
