DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ebola virus outbreaks tend to occur every few years and then go away rapidly. However, this year’s outbreak is the worst in recorded history, with the total number of deaths approaching 1,000. As reported previously, Corgenix Medical Corporation (OTCBB:CONX), a worldwide developer and marketer of diagnostic test kits, commenced work on a $2.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant in June.

In the past, Corgenix has served as a subcontractor to Tulane University for several NIH-funded grants and contracts related to development of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for hemorrhagic fever viruses such as Lassa, Ebola and Marburg. Corgenix currently serves as the principal investigator for the new NIH-funded three-year contract to complete the development of recombinant diagnostic tests for Ebola.
