The center studies point-of-care diagnostics for viral diseases carried by mosquitoes.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to develop point-of-care diagnostics for mosquito-borne viral diseases.
The Osaka-Mahidol Infectious Diseases Center conducts research toward developing point-of-care diagnostics for mosquito-borne viral diseases.
Dengue fever and chikungunya fever are mosquito-borne viral infections that are epidemic mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, including the Kingdom of Thailand.
Analyses of clinical specimens are carried out jointly with the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, and research has begun to clarify the relationship between viruses and the factors that make disease severe.
Through this joint research, the center also puts effort into training infectious disease researchers at the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, and in Japan.
Key terms
- Point-of-care diagnostics
- A diagnostic method that gives results immediately at the patient's side, without sending samples to a laboratory.
- Monoclonal antibody
- An antibody produced from a single cell line, with identical properties. It recognizes a specific target.
- Antigen detection kit
- A test kit that determines the presence of infection by detecting viral proteins and similar substances.
- Clinical specimen
- A sample collected from a patient and used for diagnosis or research.
