Translation of the direct-on-blood PCR-NALFIA system into an innovative near point-of-care diagnostic for malaria (DIAGMAL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential to timely install proper treatment. Current diagnostic methods for malaria have limitations, such as detection limit and problems with antigen persistence after successful treatment (rapid diagnostic tests) or may require technical expertise and equipment (microscopy). Treatment on the basis of clinical symptoms only (fever = malaria) must be abandoned.Mo ...

Portable microfluidic-based device for in situ detection of viable legionella (PINVIALEG)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Legionella outbreaks have great sanitary, economic and social implications. Diagnostic method use to prevent and control Legionella is bacteria culture. Available detection kits are based on DNA technology, unable to discriminate between viable and non-viable bacteria. On the contrary, RNA is widely used as a viable bacteria indicator. Although molecular based techniques, as PCR and qPCR, have be ...
