Hello backers !
So far, we didn't get enough money but we are looking forward to screening the primate serum samples in a Luminex assay! This has been evaluated to be used with human samples and there have been some good results (with good specificity distinguishing among different flaviviruses).
Please help us share our project with more people and if you already donated thank you so much.

In Peru, about 80% of the illegal trade of wildlife species commercialized in Lima come from the Peruvian Amazon, from regions where arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) such Dengue, Yellow fever, Chikungunya, and Zika co-circulate. Our aim is to determine whether illegally commercialized new-world primates are infected with arboviruses. To do so, monkeys confiscated by the National Forest and Wildlife Service in Lima will be screened for arbovirus infection using molecular techniques.
