What are key developments in the Nipah Virus Testing Market?

Nipah Virus Testing kits are manufactured keeping in mind, the sudden outbreaks of the disease, along with the need to make them available promptly in regions where the disease was seen spreading for early diagnosis of Nipah virus. Nipah virus testing kits are extremely significant when it comes to the outbreak of the disease.

With more research and development put into the diagnosis of the Nipah virus, the world could control the widespread of the disease with advanced and improved Nipah virus testing kits. These enhancements could introduce major changes in the Nipah Virus Testing Market worldwide.

The Nipah virus belongs to the Paramyxoviridae. It was initially isolated in 1999 in Malaysia and Singapore, during an outbreak of encephalitis and respiratory illness in pigs and people closely associated with them. Flying foxes are the reservoir for these viruses and it spreads through direct contact with infected bats, pigs, and people.

When pigs are infected with the Nipah virus they represent relatively mild symptoms when compared to humans. The incubation time in humans is 5-14 days followed by fever and headache for 3-14 days, further followed by drowsiness, disorientation, and mental confusion.

In 1999 when the Nipah virus outbreak was recorded in Malaysia, it was initially thought that the mosquitoes were the carriers, further studies later proved the source to be pigs. The government then ordered the biggest animal culling in history that nearly killed the pig meat industry.

The drastic step finally brought the infection under control and resulted in the need for a detection method for both animals and humans. The south Indian state Kerala was recently declared on high alert when at least 17 cases were noted to have died due to Nipah virus infection.

Nipah virus can be tested in the lab through various techniques that include virus isolation, serological detection of antibodies, and RT PCR. The virus isolation method is a very slow and non-sensitive method while the serological detection of antibodies can’t detect the presence in early stages.

The Nipah virus testing product offered by MyBioSource is an RT PCR kit that is available only for research purposes. Life river also offers a CE-marked RT PCR kit for the detection of the Nipah Virus.

Segment wise analysis

ELISA kits dominated the share in 2022 owing to a large demand for tests of antigens. These kits allow the quantitative measurements for soluble antigens found in the serum of human or body fluids. The distinct categories are ELISA involves Hormone Assays in saliva and infectious disease kits. The professional labs also supply ELISA kits from vendors.

The RT PCR-based Nipah Virus Testing kit is set to gain the fastest CAGR in the forecast period owing to its effectiveness. The kit contains a ready-to-use the system for identification of the Nipah virus. Fluorescence is measured at real-time optical during the PCR.

On the basis of end users, this market is dominated by hospitals and Diagnosis centers. The hospitals see a large demand for Nipah virus testing owing to the availability of government funds that give financial relief to patients undergoing surgery. Alongside these hospitals are anticipated to experience a rise in patients due to increasing injuries in the forecast duration. There are wide single and multiple Nipah virus testing.
