OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a global leader in point-of-care and home diagnostic testing and sample collection technologies, announced today that it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its second generation OraQuick™ Ebola 2.0 Rapid Antigen Test for use with whole blood in live patients, as well as cadaveric oral fluid from individuals suspected to have had Ebola disease at the time of death. The test can detect all four Ebola viruses currently known to cause disease in humans: Bundibugyo, Zaire, Sudan, and Taï Forest.

Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) has added the first molecular diagnostic test for Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) to its Emergency Use Listing (EUL). The test detects the virus by identifying its genetic material in blood samples, helping confirm infection rapidly and accurately.

Cepheid, a Danaher company, today announced it has donated an initial shipment of Xpert® Hemorrhagic Fever panel tests to support the diagnostic response to the Ebola Bundibugyo (BDBV) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on May 17, 2026.

OraSure Technologies announced on Wednesday that it has been awarded an $8.6 million contract from the US Department of Health and Human Services' Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
