BioFire Defense

What an incredible week at the Military Health Systems (MHS) Conference!

Thank you to all the clinicians and partners who stopped by our booth to discuss the future of diagnostic readiness.

We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting your mission with gold-standard syndromic technology.

A recent Reuters report on the Ebola response in the DRC highlights a critical challenge: testing for a comprehensive list of targets is vital.

To help support global preparedness efforts, BioFire Defense is actively increasing our production capacity for critical testing resources. The BioFire® Global Fever Special Pathogens (GF SP) Panel can detect multiple high consequence pathogens simultaneously in a single run, such as multiple Ebola species, including Bundibugyo.

As shared in the report, “BioFire Defense is actively engaging with public health stakeholders and international contacts to monitor the evolving outbreak situation and assess potential support needs.” We remain committed to working alongside our global health partners to help optimize resources and deliver fast and reliable results in the field.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

This escalation is driven by the rare Bundibugyo strain of the virus, which has now crossed borders from the Ituri province of the DRC into Kampala, Uganda. Unlike the more common Zaire ebolavirus strain, there are currently no approved vaccines or targeted therapeutics for the Bundibugyo strain.
Tracking a cross-border outbreak requires identifying cases inside the critical early window before the virus spreads through communities and health systems.

BioFire Defense is committed to supporting global health security in these high-stakes environments. The BIOFIRE® Global Fever Special Pathogens (GFSP) Panel is built for exactly this type of crisis, delivering laboratory-grade identification of rare, high-consequence pathogens, including Ebola, in under an hour.
By putting fast, comprehensive, and accurate testing directly in the hands of clinical teams, we provide actionable intelligence when every minute counts toward containment.
