NiV Ag Test Card for Disease Control and Prevention

Nipah virus is a type of virusZoonotic diseaseThe pathogen was discovered and named after in 1998 at a pig farm in Sungai Nipah, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia,Its natural host is fruit bats，The main cause of human infection with Nipah virus is through contact between infected fruit bats and intermediate host pigs.

Currently, Nipah virus infectionMainly showing local prevalence,The cases are concentrated in Bangladesh, India (especially West Bengal and Kerala), and other areas in Southeast Asia where outbreaks have occurred.

althoughChina has not reported any cases of Nipah virus yetHowever, fruit bats carrying the virus have a wide distribution range, from East Asia to Africa, and potential risk areas still exist widely.

1. Source of infection

Animals and humans infected with Nipah virus

2. Main transmission routes

The mode of transmission of Nipah virus between animals and between animals and humans is not yet clear. Currently, the main modes of transmission are:

(1) Animal human transmission:Eating fresh date palm juice and fruits contaminated with bat saliva or urine; Or directly contact infected livestock (such as pigs) or their secretions.

(2) Human to human transmission:Close contact with respiratory secretions, urine, or blood of infected individuals can spread Nipah virus. Inter patient transmission of Nipah virus mainly occurs in the case's family and medical institutions.

3. Vulnerable populations

People are generally susceptible to Nipah virus,especiallyOccupational exposure groups such as employees in pig farms or meat processing plants are high-risk populations for infection.

Common Name: NiV Ag Detection Reagent (Colloidal Gold Method)
1 person per bag, 10 person per box
This product is only used for epidemiological investigation of suspected Nipah virus infection samples in the population and cannot be used clinically.
【 Principle of Inspection 】This product uses rabbit anti Nipah virus monoclonal antibody and sheep anti rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody coated with nitrocellulose membrane as the detection line and quality control line, respectively. It is composed of colloidal gold labeled rabbit anti Nipah virus monoclonal antibody and other reagents. The chromatographic double antibody sandwich principle is applied to qualitatively detect Nipah virus antigen in the sample.
