Rapid Ebola diagnosis may be possible with new technology (IMAGE)
Caption
Pictured is a colorized scanning electron microscopic image that depicts Ebola virus particles budding from the surface of a cell. A new study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and colleagues at other institutions details a new tool that can quickly identify the presence of Ebola virus in blood samples. The technology has potential to be developed into a rapid diagnostic test.
