Ik denk dat die IIFT bloedtest behoorlijk sensitief, specifiek en trefzeker moet zijn alvorens een patient het etiket Zika opgeplakt krijgt

Veel slechter dan de standaard Elisa Lymetest kan ook niet denk ik dan.

MOSQUITO
About
Upcoming Discovery Impact film MOSQUITO is a timely in depth look at this very tiny, very dangerous creature, and how it is changing in unpredictable and unprecedented ways. The film chronicles the increasing global threat this tiny animal poses while emphatically raising the points that without an international coordinated effort, the world and its citizens are at risk for a historic pandemic that could put billions at risk of a fatal infection. The global crisis is highlighted in the worldwide premiere, Thursday July 6 at 9P, on Discovery Channel and Discovery networks around the world.
Mosquitoes kill more than 1 million people a year, many of whom are children. Today, rapid environmental shifts like climate change and the ease of international travel for both humans and goods have only increased the threat mosquitoes pose, hastening their spread around the globe. As mosquitoes are now able to survive and thrive in places they have never before - including Brazil, Florida, and as far north as Washington D.C. and New York - they are bringing diseases like Zika, dengue, and yellow fever to uncharted and unprepared parts of the world.
Shot on four continents, MOSQUITO features insights from world and health leaders as well as intimate stories of the men, women, and children who are living in fear that the next bite could be a deadly one.
Mosquito is narrated by actor Jeremy Renner and features interviews with leading experts, including former CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden and Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

[Isolation of the causative agent of Karelian fever from Aedes sp. mosquitoes]
[Insect-borne diseases and insect bites in Finland].
Clinically significant endemic, arthropod-borne infectious diseases in Finland include Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, tularemia and Karelian fever. The diagnosis of early borreliosis or tularemia is clinical and the treatment is initiated already before the results of eventual blood tests. The diagnosis of late stage borreliosis, tick-borne encephalitis or Karelian fever is confirmed mainly with serologic tests. The clinical significance of endemic anaplasmosis, Rickettsia helvetica, Inkoo and Uukuniemi viruses as well as anthropod-borne bunyaviruses and bartonelloses is either minor or remains open.
