Key facts
- Roche developed a PCR test for the Bundibugyo virus.
- The test was developed within six days of the genome sequence publication.
- The test targets detection of the Bundibugyo virus.
Roche has rapidly developed a PCR test for the Bundibugyo virus, completing the assay within six days of the genome sequence being published. This development is intended to support efforts to address the critical need for detection during ongoing outbreaks. Roche's capabilities in responding to outbreaks enabled this swift development.
