Description: | Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae It is spread by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. Its name comes from the Zika Forest of Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947 Zika virus is related to the dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and West Nile viruses. Since the 1950s, it has been known to occur within a narrow equatorial belt from Africa to Asia. From 2007 to 2016, the virus spread eastward, across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, leading to the 2015– 16 Zika virus epidemic. The infection, known as Zika fever or Zika virus disease, often causes no or only mild symptoms, similar to a very mild form of dengue fever. Zika can also spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus. This can result in microcephaly, severe brain malformations, and other birth defects. Zika infections in adults may result rarely in Guillain–Barré syndrome. AmpliSens® Dengue virus-FRT PCR kit is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for qualitative detection of Dengue virus (types 1-4) RNA in the biological material (blood plasma, histological (autopsy, biopsy) material (brain and visceral tissues), urine, saliva, mosquitoes (homogenate)) using real-time hybridization-fluorescence detection of amplified products. The PCR kit is used for studying the biological material, taken from the persons suspected of dengue fever. |
