Confirming Ebola virus disease (EVD), a deadly infectious disease, requires real-time RT-
PCR, which takes up to a few hours to yield results. Therefore, a rapid diagnostic assay is …

Abstract Background The 2013–2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak showed a lack of
diagnostic point-of-care methods. Currently, EBOV diagnosis relies on quantitative reverse …

Abstract Background. The 2013–2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa resulted in accelerated
