Microarray development

Flaviviruses show cross-reactivity in conventional serological tests and are therefore not fully reliable. This project aims to develop a microarray to improve serological diagnostics. This microarray enables us to test seropositivity for the following arboviruses:

• Dengue virus
• Yellow fever virus
• Japanese encephalitis virus
• Tick-borne encephalitis virus
• West Nile-virus
• Crimean Congo virus
• Chikungunya virus

The microarray will be used to perform syndrome surveillance.
