A method for detecting conjunctival diseases such as conjunctival MALT lymphoma, and an aging biomarker that serves as an indicator of the aging state of a subject are provided. The method for detecting conjunctival diseases comprises a step of comparing a microbial community structure of a microbiota in an ocular surface tissue specimen sampled from a healthy person with a microbial community structure of a microbiota in an ocular surface tissue specimen sampled from a subject to determine that the ocular surface tissue specimen of the subject has an indication of the conjunctival diseases. The aging biomarker a comprises bacterial species which belongs to the Corynebacteriaceae family or the Propionibacteriales family in an ocular surface tissue.

A method for detecting a stressed state, including a step of detecting a stressed state of a subject based on a tomographic image of a choroid of the subject, and a stress detection apparatus including: an image acquisition unit that acquires a tomographic image of a choroid of a subject; a calculation unit that calculates a choroidal thickness or a volume of the choroid based on the tomographic image; and a detection unit that detects a stressed state of the subject based on the choroidal thickness or the volume of the choroid.

Method for detecting stressed state and stress detection apparatus

Provided are a virus measuring method, a virus measuring device, a virus determining program, a stress determining method, and a stress determining device. A virus measuring method includes a contact step of bringing a liquid specimen containing a body fluid of a subject and an electrolytic solution into contact with each other via a through-hole portion formed in a separating wall, a current measuring step of applying a voltage to the liquid specimen and the electrolytic solution with respect to the through-hole portion and obtaining a waveform of an ionic current flowing through the through-hole portion, and a virus determining step of determining the kind of a virus contained in the body fluid on the basis of the waveform. In the virus determining step, the kind of the virus is determined by comparing the waveform with waveform information that corresponds to a known virus and is obtained beforehand.
