The Indian Council of Medical Research is working on a home-grown vaccine against Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), a tick-borne viral haemorrhagic fever caused by the KFD flavivirus that spreads through tick bites or contact with infected animals. In another health research advance, Indian and Australian scientists built a low-cost flexible biosensor that quickly detects myoglobin, an early cardiac biomarker released after heart muscle injury.
