Diagnostics have classically been performed in specialised laboratories requiring shipment of diagnostic specimens. However, sample shipment creates a time gap, not only due to transportation but also acquisition of export permits from according countries. Therefore ON SITE diagnostics are becoming more and more important and diagnostic tools have been and are being developed for diagnostics outside of laboratories. One central step for one site diagnostics is the safe handling and processing of infectious materials. The mobile glove boxes developed by the Robert Koch-Institute are an extremely useful tool to allow safe handling of infectious materials under any conditions. 2 4 In the course of our studies on disease in wild primates and vectors in tropical rainforests we have tested the glove boxes developed by RKI and helped to modify earlier version until perfect performance. The latest model is easy to use, safe and extremely robust and has been tested by us in tropical rainforests of Sierra Leone and the Republic of Congo. It does not only make working safe for experts, it is also an important component for our trainings of national scientists and local health workers and allows safer handling of infectious materials on a long term basis at the site of disease investigation but also in local laboratories with insufficient bio safety levels.
