On-the-spot blood tests for Ebola discovered

Reduces transfer risks to medical laboratories, associated with health workers
According to a research published recently in the Lancet Journal, a rapid diagnosis is now possible for the deadly virus Ebola. The conventional lab based tests done until now are not just time consuming, but also come attached with the risk of virus leakage in the blood sample being carried. This can lead to a situation of a high probability exposure to the virus, along with delays in detecting the virus. As a result, this on-the-spot detection is a sure step forward to curb the Ebola virus spread.
