BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a Flaviviridae family virus. It is spread by daytime-
active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. The virus was
first isolated in 1947 in monkeys and is named after the Zika Forest in
Uganda. In 1952, the first human cases of Zika were detected and since then,
outbreaks of Zika have been reported in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the
Pacific. Zika outbreaks have probably occurred in many other locations.
Because the symptoms of Zika are similar to those of many other diseases, many
cases may not have been recognized or properly reported.
Before its emergence in 2015 in Brazil, Zika virus was not thought to be
endemically transmitted in the Americas. Since then, it has spread across
South and into North America, including the Caribbean. As mentioned above,
Zika virus is most commonly transmitted by mosquitoes; nevertheless,
horizontal and vertical transmission in humans has been reported. The disease
caused by the Zika virus, sometimes called Zika fever, presents with similar
symptoms to other arboviral infections such as dengue and chikungunya. The
symptoms include mild fever, skin rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain
which normally last for 2 to 7 days. Birth defects and serious neurologic
sequalae have been reported in association with Zika virus infection. There is
no specific treatment, but symptoms are normally mild and can be treated with
common fever medicines, rest, and drinking plenty of fluids (World Health
Organization, 2016). Continued epidemiologic monitoring is needed as well as
basic research into the pathogenesis, immunology, and biology of Zika fever
and Zika virus for effective counter-measures and vaccines (Relich &
Loeffelholz, 2017).
In 2015, right after the reports of Zika infections in Brazil, there was a
striking increase in reports of congenital microcephaly cases, which triggered
a declaration of an international public health emergency (Araújo, et al.,
2018). This same study conducted in 2016 in Brazil found direct correlation
between microcephaly cases and Zika occurrences examining neonates born
between January to November 2016 in the Northeast region of the country where
Zika cases were prevalent. Another study conducted in 2016 demonstrated that
ZIKV infects and destroys human neuronal stem cells grown as neurospheres and
brain organoids. These observations helped solidify the link between fetal
ZIKV infection and the development of microcephaly (Relich & Loeffelholz,
2017). Due to the Zika disease’s serious neurological sequelae this year
(2018), the World Health Organization (WHO) issued the Annual review of
diseases where the priority for R&D investments for Zika has been raised
(World Health Organization, 2018).
Because Zika virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus, it
is related to the dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and West Nile
viruses. The Zika virus is enveloped, icosahedral and has a nonsegmented,
single-stranded, 10-kilobase, positive-sense RNA genome. It is most closely
related to the Spondweni virus and is one of the two known viruses in the
Spondweni virus clade.
ACCESSORIES (NOT INCLUDED)
Thermocycler
Co-Diagnostics, Inc. can either directly or through reagent rental programs
provide the Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler machines (manufactured for Co-Diagnostics,
Inc. by Bio Molecular Systems). The Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus test kit can also
be used in other real-time PCR systems as long as the parameters to run the
test are set as established in the Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus test kit.
Two machines have been used and tested with the product, the Co-Dx Box™
thermocycler (Bio Molecular Systems), and the Eco 48 (Cole-Parmer). Of these,
only the Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler (Bio Molecular Systems) has been validated
with the current version of the product. Other validation exercises will
include more testing more thermocyclers, as well as creating specific
protocols for those thermal cyclers.
The Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler is recommended due to its ease of use, small size,
durability, and fast report generation. The Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler software
was developed by Bio Molecular Systems solely for Co-Diagnostics, Inc., and it
has been verified for use with Co- Diagnostics, Inc. real-time PCR products,
simplifying result interpretation. The Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler reads
fluorescence in realtime, generated from the PCR reagents loaded into Co- Dx
Box™ PCR reaction tubes, amplifies the virus RNA by thermal cycling using
magnetic induction, and displays output data through the integrated software.
The Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler is available with 48 reaction wells and either 2
or 4 channels.
Other Co-Diagnostics, Inc. real-time PCR products also utilize this Co-Dx Box™
thermocycler. The Microsoft SurfaceTM Pro 4 System (MSPRO-4) is available for
use with Co-Dx Box™ software in a windows-based operation system. The output
device used with the Co-Dx Box™ thermocycler can be a printer or external
computer. Alternately, the results can be manually recorded. The method of
reporting is left to the discretion of the user.
Extraction Kit
The quality of the extraction of the RNA from the samples is essential for the
performance of Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus. The extraction protocol to be followed
should be performed following manufacturer’s instructions or an internally
validated protocol. The extraction method validated with Logix Smart™ ZIKV
Virus and recommended by Co-Diagnostics, Inc. is the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
Users should pay attention to the following:
-
Use sterile pipette tips with filters.
-
Use standard precautions when handling any patient samples, as they may contain infectious agents.
-
Store and extract positive materials (specimen, controls, and amplicons) separately from other reagents.
-
Always use nuclease free water, provided with this kit.
-
Consult appropriate Safety data Sheets (SDS) for safety. The SDS for Logix Smart™ ZIKV Test is provided with shipment. If not provided with shipment, the SDS can be retrieved from Co-Diagnostics website at the link:
http://codiagnostics.com/products/diagnostic-solutions/ -
To prevent contamination, it is required to use Good Laboratory Practices for Molecular Biology, which requires a unidirectional workflow and the separation of negative and positive materials.
-
Do no collect samples, for nucleic acid PCR assays, in Heparin (green top tube) or EDTA (purple top tube) as these components are well known PCR inhibitors.
-
Preferably collect whole blood in serum separator tubes.
SAMPLE INFORMATION
The sample selection, collection, storage, and handling play an essential part on the performance of nucleic acid assays. Thus, valuable information is presented here to help laboratories develop better procedures for analysis of results and troubleshooting other problems.
- CDC, Testing for Zika: https://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/diagnosis.html
- World Health Organization (WHO), Laboratory testing for Zika virus infection:
https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/204671/WHO_ZIKV_LAB_16.1_eng.pdf;
jsessionid=2935A1D6A4788EA7148C5431A506941F?sequence=1
According to Relich & Loeffelholz (2017), ZIKV RNA can be detected in serum
with real time RT-PCR tests from 2 to 7 days after onset of symptoms. After 7
days, the viral load in the blood starts to decrease. The viral RNA can be
detected in urine up to 20 days, although it has happened to be detected in
urine in more than 20 days. Zika virus was found in semen 2 months after onset
of symptoms. The same study also recommended that to have a robust result and
solve the problem of variability of viral load and days from the onset of the
disease, Instructions for Use (IVD)
especially because onset of the disease can be difficult to determine as some
people are asymptomatic, ideally serum and urine should be tested at the same
time.
- The World Health Organization recommends recording the full name, date of birth, contact information, and the time and date of collection of the patient sample. Additionally, the following information could also be collected:
- Symptoms, date of onset, duration of symptoms, contact with known Zika virus cases (and type of contact e.g. breastfeeding, sexual partner);
- Comprehensive travel history (dates, place, duration of visit); and
- Vaccination history, especially any vaccinations for flaviviruses including yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and dengue virus
Sample Storage
Specimen are best kept refrigerated at 2-8°C and tested within 48 hours. If there is a delay of more than 48 hours before testing whole blood, serum should be separated and stored separately. The WHO recommends that all other types of specimens may be kept at -20°C for up to 7 days. For storage longer than 7 days, specimens should be frozen at -70°C. For storage longer than 7 days, samples should be frozen at -70°C. (World Health Organization, 2016).
Sample Handling
Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis on clinical specimens from patients who are suspected or confirmed to be infected with Zika virus, should be conducted under Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) conditions as described in the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual, 3rd ed. Any testing for the presence of Zika virus should be performed in appropriately equipped laboratories by staff trained in the relevant technical and safety procedures. National guidelines on laboratory biosafety should be followed in all circumstances (World Health Organization, 2016).
PROCEDURE
Real Time RT-PCR Setup
- All real-time RT-PCR x, positive control, no template control (nuclease free water), and sample tubes should be briefly spun down before using, to remove any condensation or residue from the lids, especially after mixing or after being in storage.
- Thaw all reagents and samples on ice, or in a cold block, before starting setup.
No Template Control Set Up
- Thaw Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Master Mix on ice.
- Vortex, for no more than 3 seconds, and centrifuge the Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Master Mix.
- Put the Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Master Mix on ice.
- Aliquot 5µL of Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Master Mix into PCR tubes on ice.
- Add 5µL Nuclease Free Water (GEN-NF-001) to the appropriate well(s).
Patient Sample and Positive Control Set Up
- Prepare extracted patient samples and the positive control in a separate space from the master mix and nuclease free water, to avoid contamination.
- Thaw extracted, purified RNA on ice (if frozen).
- Vortex and centrifuge extracted RNA for a few seconds.
- Add 5µL of extracted RNA sample to each well using a new tip between each sample.
- Thaw Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Positive Control (ZDC-PC-001) on ice.
- Vortex and centrifuge Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Positive Control for a few seconds.
- Add 5µL of Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus Positive Control to appropriate well(s).
- Place caps on the tubes according to the real-time system being used.
- Put plate/tubes in real-time PCR machine and start the run.
Thermocycler Set Up
Program the thermocycler to the conditions found in Table 2 with a total reaction volume of 10μL:
Table 2: Thermocycler Conditions
Temperature | Time | Cycles | Capture |
---|---|---|---|
45˚C | 15 minutes | N/A | |
95˚C | 2 minutes | N/A | |
95˚C | 3 seconds |
45
| N/A
55˚C| 32 seconds| FAM (Green) and Cal Fluor Red 610 (CF610) (Orange)
- When the run is finished, ensure that the run file is saved.
- Check to see that both the positive and negative controls passed.
- If controls pass, interpret the sample results. If controls fail, the run is invalid. Document the run and initiate troubleshooting.
DATA ANALYSIS
Verification and validation studies performed for Logix Smart™ ZIKV Virus (ZIKV-K-004) were conducted following Good Laboratory Practices for Molecular Biology assays (Viana & Wallis, 2011). If these conditions are not met, the performance will show higher variability due to user errors while conducting the experiment.
Positive Controls
Table 3: Positive Control Ranges for Cycle Threshold Values
**Range for Positive Control Ct Values***
- ZIKV (FAM) 24.00-28.50
- IPC (CF610) 21.00-27.00
ZIKV (FAM): Zika Virus Marker
IPC (CF610): RNaseP Internal Positive Control Marker
*Ct values may vary by ± 2 cycles based on instrument differences.
If the positive control does not show amplification, then the tests are
invalid. Loss of amplification for a positive control is indicative of primer
degradation which may result from reagents being at temperatures above -20˚C
for more than one hour or being used past the expiration date. Pipetting error
may also account for lack of positive control amplification by pipetting
control into the wrong well, missing a well, or pipetting an inadequate amount
of reagent into a reaction well.
No Template Controls
The results of the No Template Control should show results like those seen
below:
Occasionally, ubiquitous will cause amplification No Template Control in the IPC Channel (CF610) as seen in the Figure 3.
If the No Template Control shows any amplification of ZIKV <40 cycles, the results are invalid, and the entire experiment must be repeated. Amplification of ZIKV in a No Template Control indicates contamination in one or more of the reagents or pipetting error. Amplification of ZIKV 40 cycles is outside the detectable range and is considered negative.
Interpretation of Results
Once the controls have passed, the unknown samples can be interpreted based on three possible outcomes (figures may vary based on machine used and quantity of MM and sample):
- Positive (Figure 4 and Figure 5)
- Negative (Figure 7 and Figure 8)
- Negative Due to Inadequate Nuclear Material (Figure 10 and Figure 11)
A Positive result will show an amplification curve or cycle threshold value for ZIKV at or below 40 cycles. Amplification curves greater than 40 cycles for ZIKV are outside of the detection limits for the assay. A positive sample will have the following curves in the target’s respective channel AND IPC CF610 channel:
The presence of a curve for positive sample in FAM indicates a positive result. The amplification of the IPC (CF610) shows that the extraction was successful.
The presence of a curve for ZIKV indicates a positive result even when the
RNase P (IPC) marker is negative. This will occur when the concentration of
ZIKV is greater than the concentration of RNaseP or when using cell lysates or
extremely pure/sterile samples.
A Negative result will show no amplification for ZIKV; however, occasionally
amplification greater than 40 cycles occurs in ZIKV or RNaseP channels. Any
amplification curves greater than 40 cycles for ZIKV are outside of the
detection limits for the assay. A negative sample result will have the curve
shown in Figure 8:
The absence of a curve for ZIKV indicates a negative result ONLY when the
RNaseP (IPC) marker is positive.
A Negative Due to Inadequate Nuclear Material result will have the following
curve:
If the RNaseP (IPC) control marker is also negative, the result is negative
due to inadequate nuclear material. This can result from human error in sample
preparation, sample degradation, or inadequate sampling. The test may be
repeated with a new sample or called negative due to inadequate nuclear
material.
Samples obtained from culture or sterile/pure sites (e.g. CSF, urine, cell
lysates, etc.) may not contain the human RNaseP gene. In such case, the two
negative markers indicate a true negative result for Zika virus.
The interpretation of results with Ct values can be translated to Table 4:
Table 4: Interpretation of Results with Ct Values
| Patient Sample| Positive
Control (IPC)
Must always amplify with Ct value between
21.0 to 27.0. If IPC does not amplify, see troubleshooting| Negative
Control (NTC)
Must always not amplify. If any amplification with NTC, see
troubleshooting| Final Result
---|---|---|---|---
Serum| Zero or no Amplification| Negative (-)
Positive or Amplification| Positive (+)
Urine| Zero or no Amplification| Negative (-)
Positive or Amplification| Positive (+)
Negative result for Zika in Serum or Urine does not exclude the possibility of having the disease but it may happen to be the beginning of the infection where the virus is showing up only in Serum, but possible the viral load is still low and harder to detect. Or it may be late in the infection, after 10 days where the virus does not show up in blood any longer, but can be Instructions for Use (IVD) detected in urine. Or it may be late in the infection, after 20 days, and the viral load is reduced because the immune system has been combating Zika efficiently. In this case only a serological exam will be able to detect Zika specific antibodies.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Stability
Real-time and accelerated shelf-life, and in-use stability studies are
currently under testing. Currently, the expiration date of this product has
been established as 12 months.
Always use the most recent version of this document for updates as more
stability information will be added when studies are completed.
User Errors
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Assay is a technique that uses temperature
cycling, and a DNA polymerase to amplify a single or a few copies of a segment
of DNA or RNA. Good Laboratory Practices for Molecular Biology Diagnostics
(Viana & Wallis, 2011) are necessary for the use of this product. This product
is not intended to be used by untrained personnel.
It is essential for the user to have some molecular biology experience and be
familiar with proper pipetting technique to prevent errors, such as splashes,
crossover contamination, and errors on volume selection. Pipette tips must be
replaced after every pipetting. Gloves must be replaced often. Equipment must
have calibration up to date for the pipettes and thermocyclers, when
applicable.
A 90 minutes online training for Good Laboratory Practices for Molecular
Genetics Testing
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017) is available at the CDC
website at the following link
https://www.cdc.gov/labtraining/training-courses/good-lab-practices-
molecular-genetics-testing.html
Invalid Results
The Positive Control and No Template Control are validated, manufactured and tested along with the Master Mix. The purpose of these controls is to attest about the performance of the Master Mix, as well as validates the user technique used during the experiment. If the user has a poor use of the techniques required to perform a Molecular Biology Assay, it is more likely that it will be shown by the Positive Control not amplifying or the No Template Control showing amplification.
-
Positive Control not amplifying
No amplification from the positive control suggests that the PCR is not working. This could be the result of one or multiple factors, such as: pipetting errors, master mix degradation, positive control degradation, or the wrong reagents were used. Without further evidence, it is best to disregard the results from the patient samples and retest. An investigation should be conducted to identify possible causes for error and the test must be reprocessed from extraction or not, depending on the investigation results and risks identified in the process. -
No Template Control showing amplification
It means that for some reason (e.g. contamination from pipetting, splashes on the PCR plate, user contamination) an error caused the No Template Control (Nuclease Free Water) to be contaminated with the positive control or with the sample, because it is more likely that the same error could have happened to the sample the results cannot be trusted, and the test must be invalidated. An investigation should be conducted to identify possible causes for error and the test must be reprocessed from extraction or not, depending on the investigation results and risks identified in the process.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Diagnostic Evaluation is based on only contrived samples with serum, plasma and urine used for matrix spiked with reference material from Zika Virus different strains.
Table 5: Diagnostics Accuracy Statistics from Contrived Samples
Analytical Evaluation found overall precision on 97.83% with less than 5% coefficient of variance in all analysis. Analytical Sensitivity was performed to determine the Limit of Detection which by definition is the concentration with detection rate equal or better than 95%. See table below:
Table 6: Analytical Sensitivity (LoD) for Logix Smart™ ZIKV test kit (ZIKV-K-004)*
