Dengue test solutions for every disease stage

Dengue is one of the most rapidly spreading infectious diseases worldwide. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of cases increased tenfold. Half of all people now live in areas where dengue is endemic1.

One of the reasons for this is global warming, which greatly favours the spread of the tiger mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) that act as vectors for dengue. In many endemic areas, the rising temperatures and heavier rainfall associated with climate change contribute to an increase in the number of mosquitoes2.

With over 35 years of experience in the field of laboratory diagnostics, we develop and distribute complete diagnostic solutions that are tailored to your needs. We have one of the broadest portfolios of serological tests for the diagnostics of emerging diseases, which are becoming increasingly relevant.
Emerging diseases

Reliable diagnostics of dengue virus infections in all disease stages

Adapted from Ohst C et al.,
Reliable serological testing for the diagnosis of emerging infectious diseases. Adv Exp Med Biol 1062:19-43 (2018).

Antigen detection

  • Dengue Virus NS1 Antigen ELISA (types 1-4)

Detection of the viral protein NS1:
Early marker for acute infections – positive laboratory results already at the first symptoms!

 
 

Antibody detection

  • Anti-Dengue Virus NS1 Type 1-4 ELISA (IgG)
  • Anti-Dengue Virus Type 1-4 ELISA (IgG, IgM)
  • Anti-Dengue Virus IIFT (IgG, IgM)
  • Flavivirus/Arbovirus IIFT Mosaics (IgG, IgM)

Identification of acute and past infections
Screening and investigation of cross reactions

Importance of antibody testing in the context of dengue vaccination

Our products make a valuable contribution not only to diagnostics, but also to screening prior to vaccination with the first dengue vaccine, which was launched on the market in 2015*.

This is because the CYD-TDV vaccine (Dengvaxia) is only administered to people who live in endemic areas and have been proven to have been infected with the dengue virus. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) therefore recommends double testing with two specific test systems for the detection of IgG antibodies against dengue. One of the two test systems of this two-step algorithm is the EUROIMMUN Anti-Dengue Virus NS1 Type 1-4 ELISA (IgG)3.
