Vector Smart™ NAM-e
North American Mosquito-East Multiplex PCR Test for rapid detection of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus, and St. Louis Encephalitis in mosquito populations.
Advanced Multiplex Detection
Rapid Results
Get actionable results in 60-90 minutes, enabling same-day decision-making for vector control strategies
Mosquito-Specific Validation
Validated using mosquito sample extractions with mosquito-specific extraction controls to reduce false negatives
Three Viruses, One Test
Simultaneous detection of EEE, WNV, and SLEV in a single multiplex reaction for maximum efficiency
Gold Standard Accuracy
PCR-based detection provides superior sensitivity and specificity compared to other testing methods
Applications in Vector Control
Mosquito Abatement Districts
Monitor mosquito populations for arbovirus prevalence to guide targeted intervention strategies and resource allocation.
Public Health Surveillance
Establish early warning systems for arbovirus activity to protect community health and enable timely public advisories.
Research & Epidemiology
Support scientific research on arbovirus transmission dynamics, mosquito vector competence, and disease ecology.
Emergency Response
Enable rapid assessment during outbreak situations to inform emergency vector control measures and protect public safety.
