DiAGSure® Orientia Tsutsugamushi (Scrub Typhus) TaqMan PCR Kit

Catalog No.: GDQ6063-20R, GDQ6063-50R, GDQ6063-100R
Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Scrub Typhus Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay developed for the rapid and accurate detection of Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus—a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans through the bite of infected chigger mites, which commonly infest rodents and other small animals. Endemic to many parts of Asia, including India, scrub typhus presents as an acute febrile illness with non-specific symptoms such as fever, headache, and myalgia, and may progress to severe complications like pneumonitis, encephalitis, or multi-organ failure if untreated. As it mimics other tropical fevers, early and precise diagnosis is critical for guiding effective treatment. The DiAGSure® kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, detecting O. tsutsugamushi DNA even in early infection stages. It is an essential tool for differential diagnosis of febrile illnesses and supports clinical decision-making and zoonotic disease surveillance in endemic regions.

Key Specifications:
 Accurate detection of Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, using real-time PCR.
