Influenza is much more than just a nasty cold – it is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases worldwide, claiming around half a million lives every year. What makes it particularly insidious is that flu viruses are contagious even before the first symptoms appear. Despite this threat, the diagnostic options available to date are far from ideal. They are often expensive, complicated to use and simply unavailable in many poorer regions of the world. A research team led by Professor Lorenz Meinel from the University of Würzburg in cooperation with researchers from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research has developed the technology behind a new self-test for influenza, recently published in ACS Central Science.
