Timely outbreak investigation and diagnostics are
essential for disease control and possible
intervention. 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.

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.
