DiAGSure® Kyasanur Forest Disease Detection Kit

Catalog No.: GDQ6159-50R, GDQ6159-100R
Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Kyasanur Forest Disease Detection Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay designed to detect Kyasanur Forest Disease Virus (KFDV), the causative agent of Kyasanur Forest Disease—a tick-borne viral hemorrhagic fever endemic to forested regions of South India. KFDV is transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Haemaphysalis ticks, with monkeys and small mammals serving as amplifying hosts. The disease presents with sudden onset of high fever, headache, myalgia, bleeding, and neurological complications in severe cases. Due to its zoonotic nature and potential for outbreaks in forest-dwelling populations and field workers, early and accurate detection is critical. The DiAGSure® kit enables reliable identification of KFDV RNA in clinical samples, facilitating timely diagnosis and public health response. It plays a crucial role in outbreak management, vector surveillance, and differential diagnosis of febrile illnesses in endemic regions.
