A new ELISA from EUROIMMUN provides highly sensitive detection of antibodies against Mayaro virus (MAYV) in patient serum samples. MAYV is the causative agent of Mayaro fever, an emerging disease of concern in South America. MAYV fever is clinically indistinguishable from other diseases caused by arboviruses, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya or Oropouche fever, which occur in similar geographic regions. Therefore, laboratory tests play an important role in diagnosis.
The serological analysis supplements direct detection of MAYV, which is only possible for 3 to 5 days after onset of symptoms. MAYV-specific IgM antibodies can be detected at an early stage, often just a few days after symptom onset, and remain detectable for several months. Seroconversion or a significant titre increase in samples taken at least 7 to 10 days apart indicates an acute infection. Anti-MAYV IgG antibodies may persist over many years. In evaluation studies with serologically precharacterized samples the Anti-Mayaro Virus ELISA yielded 100% sensitivity for both IgM and IgG and a high specificity of 100% for IgG and 92 to 97.5% for IgM. The ELISA can be fully automated.
MAYV is an arbovirus which is distributed in South and Central America, especially in regions around the Amazon basin. Its transmission cycle has not been completely elucidated, but it is thought to circulate between mosquitos of the genus Hemagogus and non-human primates. Human epidemics and outbreaks have been described in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela and French Guiana. MAYV infections are increasingly observed in urban and no longer only in rural areas. Typical symptoms are fever, headaches, rash, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea and arthralgia, which may persist for weeks or even months. Clinically inapparent courses cannot be excluded but have not been described so far.

The breakdown of glucose (glycolysis) in venous blood samples is of great significance in pre-analytics, particularly in relation to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. Greiner Bio-One has the optimum solution in the form of the VACUETTE® FC Mix tube made of highly-transparent PET plastic. A citrate fluoride additive in the form of a powder in the tube stabilises the in vivo concentration of glucose in the sample.

Designed for use on the LIAISON MDX instrument, the highly sensitive SimplexaTM Group B Strep direct assay enables the direct in vitro detection of Group B Streptococcus (GBS DNA). GBS infection is a significant challenge in the health management of women and newborns. The new assay is more specific than traditional testing methods and features an efficient, fast workflow. This assay has also been submitted to the FDA under their Premarket Notification process, to obtain 510(k) clearance. GBS infection is a leading cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis. An estimated one in five pregnant women around the world carries GBS bacteria, which is a major, yet preventable, cause of maternal and infant infection globally. Vertical transmission of GBS to the newborn can result in an invasive infection known as early onset disease (EOD). Infants with EOD will present with fever, lethargy, sepsis, pneumonia and, more rarely, meningitis within the first 24 to 48 hours of life. The World Health Organization estimates that GBS causes 150,000 preventable stillbirths and infant deaths every year.
