Japan develops Ebola detector,takes 30 minutes to diagnose case.

Ebola Detector – Following the upsurge in the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, in West Africa, Japanese researchers say they have developed a new method to detect the presence of the deadly disease in 30 minutes.

According to Professor Jiro Yasuda and his team at Nagasaki University, the ebola detector could allow doctors to quickly diagnose infection of the Ebola virus.

The team also stated that their process is also cheaper than the system currently in use in West Africa where the virus has already killed more than 1552 people, according to the World Health Organisation, WHO.
