India has developed the first indigenously-developed RT-PCR kit for testing monkeypox disease.
Developed by Transasia Bio-Medicals, the kit was unveiled by Principal Scientific Adviser to the Centre Ajay Kumar Sood.
India so far has reported ten cases of monkeypox.
According to WHO, monkeypox is a viral zoonosis, a virus transmitted to humans from animals with symptoms similar to smallpox although clinically less severe.
The Transasia-Erba monkeypox RT-PCR kit is highly sensitive, but an easy-to-use test with uniquely formulated primer and probe for enhanced accuracy.
