Abstract
⺠The Tetracore Orthopox BioThreat® Lateral Flow Assay was evaluated. ⺠The assay detected reproducibly laboratory grown vaccinia and monkeypox viruses containing 107 pfu/ml. ⺠In a blind study, 9 of 11 orthopoxvirus clinical samples were identified accurately. ⺠In a blind study, only 1 of 11 non-orthopoxvirus clinical samples (including varicella, pseudocowpox, Orf and HSV-1) produced a false positive result.
