Vector Smart™ VZDC
Comprehensive multiplex PCR test for simultaneous detection of Zika, Dengue (all 4 serotypes), and Chikungunya viruses in mosquito populations.
Advanced Multiplex Technology
Six Targets, One Test
Simultaneously detects Zika virus, all four Dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4), and Chikungunya virus
Proven Field Performance
Trusted by 30 mosquito abatement districts across 20 U.S. states for reliable environmental surveillance
Extensive Validation
Chikungunya primers validated against 1,200+ virus strains for comprehensive global coverage
Rapid Detection
Results available in 60-90 minutes for immediate decision-making and response
Global Vector Control Applications
International Surveillance
Monitor mosquito populations in tropical and subtropical regions where Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya are endemic or emerging.
Port & Border Monitoring
Screen for invasive mosquito species and imported arboviruses at international entry points to prevent disease introduction.
Outbreak Response
Rapidly assess the scale of arbovirus presence during outbreak situations to guide emergency vector control interventions.
Climate Change Monitoring
Track the expansion of tropical arboviruses into new geographic regions as climate patterns shift and mosquito ranges expand.
Key Benefits
Comprehensive Coverage
Detect six critical arbovirus targets in a single test, providing complete surveillance of the most important global threats
