This study evaluates a new diagnostic test called DECIPHER bioassay for detecting Ebola virus. Researchers will use stored blood and cheek swab samples from patients in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to see how well the new test compares to the standard lab method. The goal…

This study evaluates two new diagnostic tests (FORTIFIEDx and DECIPHER) for detecting Ebola and Lassa viruses. Researchers will use stored blood and cheek swab samples from patients in Guinea to see how well these tests compare to the standard PCR method. The goal is to determine…
