The 'wand' detects the virus that transmits diseases to humans and animals

The device is capable of rapidly detecting human and animal disease viruses being developed by the US Department of Agriculture.

This device is called surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) . The device will detect the virus when the laser beam comes in.

Microbiologist William Wilson, the Center for Agricultural Research and Animal Health in Manhattan, used the technology to identify West Nile fever virus and Rift Valley fever virus. the virus that can cause fever and animal transmission. Both viruses are transmitted through mosquitoes.

Veterinarians can take blood samples from sick animals, perform tests, and have results on the spot with this handheld device.

Scientists hope that the tool, shaped like a chopstick, can quickly spot an outbreak. In addition, the device quickly detects the antibody response of the virus. If the device is made of gold or silver, the ability to detect viruses is better.
