The Need

Since the first discovery of Ebola virus in 1976, Ebola virus disease (EVD) has occurred sporadically throughout West Africa.
EVD is a severe and highly contagious illness. The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.2 However, the survival rate can improve dramatically with implementation of early supportive care.2
The Ebola outbreak has spread beyond Africa and reached Europe and the United States. The global outbreak of EVD heightens the need for a fast and accurate diagnostics.
