February 3, 2015 Fitness for Purpose Statements:
C. burnetii
Fitness for Purpose:
Detection of
C. burnetii
by PCR in liquid samples. Field deployable PCR assay would be
desirable.
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE - VEE WORKING GROUP
Identification of VEEV, and possibly EEEV and WEEV, RNA by assays in liquid samples.
The limit of detection must be less than 100 genome copies per reaction.
The preferential method would be a field-deployable assay.
SEB Fitness for Purpose:
Detection of sub nanogram level SEA-SEC in liquid samples, preferably using field deployable
assay in less than four hours.
