The Zika virus (ZIKV) is particularly relevant in tropical resource limited settings (RLS) and is associated with intermittent epidemics such as the recent 2016 ZIKV outbreak in South America, wherein Zika fever was classified by WHO as a public health emergency of international concern. Thus, there is an urgent need for widespread Zika fever diagnostics and efficient drug therapies. ZIKV diagnostics are typically performed using RT-qPCR in centralized laboratories.

This platform allowed the detection of <17 vRNA copies per reaction mixture, equivalent to similar to 3 aM, showed a positive correlation with RT-qPCR in both average (r = 0.80) and discrete (r = 0.95) signal modes, and was validated for drug efficiency tests using in vitro infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 3 healthy donors. This performance shows significant promise towards highly sensitive, albeit simple and cost-effective point-of-care viral diagnostics.
