There is an extremely cheap therapy to detect Zika virus

Scientists have successfully developed a system that can detect the Zika virus in the earliest time. This system is very easy to use, has an extremely low cost - only 1 USD, and can be deployed in remote areas around the world.

This system can help detect Zika virus in 2-3 hours.

The system, developed by a team of scientists from Harvard, MIT, the University of Toronto, Arizona State University, Cornell, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Boston University, can analyze and identify signs of Zika infection in the human body in just a few hours.

Early detection of Zika is key to stopping this dangerous virus that is a global threat. The new system can produce results in just two or three hours, much faster and cheaper than the PCR test currently used.

With this system, patients only need to take a drop of blood for analysis. The blood will be boiled and processed, then put on a test paper. If the test paper changes color (which can be easily detected with the naked eye), it means that there are symptoms of Zika virus.

Scientists believe that this cheap paper test method will be applied more widely in the future to detect other types of epidemics.
