The low-cost test is portable and easy to use in the field, providing results in less than an hour and making early warning surveillance of infectious diseases more accessible to remote communities.
Leyla Soleymani, Andrea Gonzalez, Sonia Anand and Richard Arthur have been recognized by the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) for their contributions to research and scholarship.
The test, once it becomes widely available, is expected to be a valuable tool for identifying and isolating outbreaks in farm settings, and for limiting the possibility of animal-to-human transmission of infections.
