During the first stages of infection, a healthcare provider can perform a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to confirm nipah virus. This test uses the following bodily fluids to diagnose the condition: Nasal or throat swabs. Cerebrospinal …

These Nipah tests represent a first step toward development of near-patient NiV diagnostics that are appropriately sensitive for first-line screening, sufficiently robust for a range of peripheral settings, with potential to be safely performed outside of biohazard containment facilities.

2024年3月25日 · During early stages of infection, test for Nipah using real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from throat and nasal swabs, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, or blood. Later in the course of illness and after recovery, test for antibodies using an …

Due to high specificity and sensitivity, qRT-PCR is currently considered to be the optimum method in acute NiV infection assessment. Nasal swabs, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and blood are used for RT-PCR testing. N gene represents the main target used in molecular assays.

Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic paramyxovirus that causes fatal encephalitis in humans. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a safe, sensitive, specific, and affordable diagnostic tool that can be used during screening of large-scale epidemiological investigations.

2024年2月23日 · Healthcare providers can test people for Nipah while they're sick or after they've recovered. Currently there are no licensed treatments for Nipah. Treatment is limited to supportive care, including rest, hydration, and treatment of other symptoms. Learn about Nipah virus, how it spreads, where it is found, and how to protect yourself.

2018年5月30日 · 尼帕病毒是一种人畜共患病毒（即可从动物传播给人类的病毒），也可以通过被污染的食物传播给人类，或者直接人传人。 尼帕病毒给感染者造成一系列病症，包括无症状（亚临床）感染，急性呼吸系统疾病和致命性脑炎等。 尼帕病毒还可在猪等动物中导致严重疾病，给养殖者带来重大经济损失。 虽然尼帕病毒只在亚洲导致过少数的已知疫情，但它可感染多种动物并在人群中造成严重疾病和死亡，使之成为一个令人关注的公共卫生问题。 1999年，在马来西亚的 …

2024年9月19日 · The Nipah virus PCR test is one of the most reliable methods for detecting viral RNA. The test amplifies specific genetic sequences of the virus, making it possible to identify even minute quantities of the virus in the sample.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of Nipah virus (NiV) requires rapid, inexpensive, and robust diagnostic tests to control spread of disease. Current state of the art technologies are slow and require laboratory infrastructure that may not be available in all endemic settings.

2023年2月9日 · Here we report the development and comparison of three rapid NiV molecular diagnostic tests based on reverse transcription recombinase-based isothermal amplification coupled with lateral flow detection.
