Instant Technology to Help Diagnose Viral Infections
Recently Scientists has developed a new miniature, portable gene sequencing tech. that can diagnose infection from viruses such as Ebola or Zika almost instantly in the field. This research is found to be a new achievement attained by Humans in the technology world.
This Diagnose is both quick and early, which avoids the need to transfer contaminated samples, said by researchers.
"The technology is characterized by the production of long nucleotide sequences, which makes it possible to sequence the entire viral genome," said Philippe Roumagnac, a virologist at The French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD).
CIRAD was one of the first laboratories in the world to test and validate its use in plant virology, Researches said.
"Using a diseased yam plant, it took us just a few hours to sequence the entire genome of two single-strand RNA viruses, a macrovirus and a potyvirus," said Denis Filloux from CIRAD.
As with Human Virology, the fact that the technology has now been validated in a plant virology laboratory paves the way for real-time, mobile detection of chronic, seasonal or emerging plant viruses, even in isolated areas, researchers said.
By shortening the time that elapses between sampling and diagnosis, the technology will help detect harmful organisms at an earlier stage, they said.
Many new generation phones also have an Integrated lab on a chip to detect multiple Pathogens, HIV and infections and to treat humans with depressions.
All this shows that as time is passing by new technology is introduced to reduce the burden or human work. Their main motive is to ease human life and for that scientists are doing a lot of work and are introducing new inventions.
