This novel diagnostic platform offers fast, affordable, and accurate detection of dengue and chikungunya in a single test, differentiating between the two even in early stages. It employs a multiplex molecular approach, allowing for simultaneous virus detection and identification of dengue serotypes. The fluorescence-based assay surpasses traditional PCR by eliminating the need for specific probes. This technology promises enhanced point-of-care testing capabilities, potentially expanding to detect other mosquito-borne diseases.
