Tropical & Vector-Borne diseases
Tropical and Vector-Borne diseases are among the most complex of all infectious diseases to prevent and control. Tropical diseases typically thrive in hot, humid conditions and include infections such as Malaria, Leishmaniosis, Dengue and Chagas. Many of these pathogens are also Vector-Borne diseases, transmitted between humans by a vector which is typically a blood-sucking arthropod (e.g. mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, lice and mites). Serological point-of-care (POC) diagnostics are the most rapid and convenient methods available for tropical and vector-borne diseases. Tests either detect antigens from the infectious agent or virus specific IgG/IgM antibodies and use formats such as solid-phase dip-sticks (ELISA), particle agglutination, and lateral flow. Ideally screening assays should have minimal cross-reactivity with other infectious diseases and have a high sensitivity, especially during the early stages of the infection. There have been numerous approaches used to improve the specificity of these assays including (1) using smaller and more specific regions (sub-units) of the epitopes; (2) using multiple antigens to different epitopes within a single assay; and (3) incorporating antigens which represent common genetic variations of the disease.
