Intended use:
The RIDASCREEN® Astrovirus test is an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative identification of astroviruses in human stool samples.
General information:
Of the 8 serotypes known today, serotypes 1 to 5 are particularly relevant. Gastroenteritis caused by the astrovirus may occur in all age groups, though it is most frequently seen in children and older persons. Outbreaks of this infection occur most often in kindergartens, schools, hospitals, and homes for the elderly, but gastroenteritis due to the astrovirus also occurs spontaneously in the military environment and in travel groups. It is as infectious as the rotavirus. The infection is transmitted via contaminated food (oysters in particular), through the water supply, and by the fecal-oral transmission route.
RIDASCREEN® Astrovirus ELISA employs highly specific antibodies to ensure reliable identification of astrovirus antigens stool samples.
