This product is a home blood test kit that screens for antibodies to Zika virus (a flavivirus). It checks for IgG and IgM antibodies, which may indicate recent or past exposure. The test is useful for individuals who have travelled to regions where Zika is endemic or for assessing potential exposure risk.

If the body is infected with bacteria, viruses or any other harmful microorganisms, the immune system produces antibodies to fight the infection. IgM antibodies are primary antibodies released into the blood early in the immune response. Zika virus-specific IgM antibodies are generally present in the blood around 4 days after infection and may continue to circulate in the blood for up to 12 weeks post exposure.
If the body is infected with bacteria, viruses or any other harmful microorganisms, the immune system produces antibodies to fight the infection. IgG antibodies are produced in a delayed response to an infection and can be retained in the body for a long time. Testing for zika virus specific IgG antibodies can help to confirm a zika virus infection.
