Vector-Borne Infections
R-Biopharm Australia provides advanced vector-borne infection testing solutions for the rapid, reliable detection of viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks and other arthropod vectors. Using highly sensitive multiplex PCR technology, our molecular diagnostic panels enable comprehensive detection of vector-borne infections from a single sample, supporting infectious disease surveillance, epidemiological research and public health programmes. Covering clinically and epidemiologically significant pathogens including dengue virus, Zika virus, chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Ross River virus and Plasmodium species, our assays deliver fast, accurate results while streamlining laboratory workflows and reducing turnaround times. Combined with automated extraction solutions and integrated PCR technology, our vector-borne infections testing portfolio provides an efficient end-to-end workflow for research, reference and public health laboratories.
Comprehensive Molecular Detection of Vector-Borne Pathogens
Vector-borne infections present unique diagnostic challenges due to the diversity of pathogens involved and the overlap of clinical symptoms between different diseases. R-Biopharm Australia’s multiplex PCR solutions enable laboratories to simultaneously detect a broad range of viral, bacterial and protozoan targets, providing a more comprehensive understanding of complex infection profiles.
Designed to support surveillance, research and specialised diagnostic applications, our vector-borne infection testing panels deliver valuable molecular insights to help laboratories investigate emerging threats, monitor pathogen circulation and make informed decisions in a changing global health landscape.
