The Brazilian health regulatory agency Ag\u00eancia Nacional de Vigil\u00e2ncia Sanit\u00e1ria (ANVISA) has approved a diagnostic test DPP Zika IgM\/IgG Assay for detection of the Zika virus infection. The test is developed by Chembio Diagnostics, a leader in point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests for infectious diseases. Chembio collaborated with Bio-Manguinhos in March 2016 for development and production of vaccines, diagnostics and biopharmaceuticals, primarily to meet demands of Brazil\u2019s national public health system. Chembio collaborated with Bio-Manguinhos\/Fiocruz in May 2016 to obtain regulatory approval and to introduce a POC diagnostic test for the Zika virus in Brazil. Chembio is involved with INCQS, Brazil\u2019s National Institute for Quality Control in Health and ANVISA to accomplish final steps of commercial release of the product. Brazil has been hardest hit by the Zika virus, where 1.5 million people have been infected with Zika virus and 2,000 babies have been born with microcephaly, a devastating birth defect linked to the Zika virus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
