The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rajkot, Gujarat, has been recognized as a facility for Zika virus screening, reducing the need to send swab samples to the National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune, Maharashtra, an official said on Wednesday.

According to a PTI report, "Our centre has been recognised for the screening of Zika virus (by Indian Council of Medical Research). We have received kits from the NIV, and are going to begin the tests very soon," said Ashwini Agarwal, professor and head of the department of microbiology at AIIMS Rajkot.
