Project 563

Problem to be solved

Current diagnosis tests are nonspecific and expensive.

Proposed innovation

Fast serological diagnosis test, point of care type, able to specifically discriminate the febrile syndrome caused by dengue virus from other viral syndromes that have similar symptomatology.

Differential

It aggregates in a single molecule specific epitopes of the four types of viruses that cause dengue.
