Supporting Ebolavirus Surveillance with Real-time PCR Detection

he ongoing Ebola outbreak associated with Bundibugyo ebolavirus has become one of the most closely watched filovirus events in recent years.

📊 Latest public health reports indicate:
• Hundreds of suspected cases reported in Central Africa
• Confirmed cross-border transmission events
• Epidemiological modeling suggesting actual infections may significantly exceed laboratory-confirmed numbers

🧬 Unlike the more commonly discussed Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo ebolavirus currently has no widely available licensed vaccine, making laboratory surveillance and molecular detection especially important during outbreak response.

Cowingene Ebolavirus Detection Kit is developed for qualitative real-time PCR detection of Ebolavirus nucleic acid in serum and plasma samples, covering four human-infecting Ebolavirus species:

🔬 Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV)
🔬 Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV)
🔬 Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV)
🔬 Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV)

✅ Available in both lyophilized and liquid formats to support different laboratory and field deployment requirements.
