Canine
diarrhea PCR panel
Test code:
P0022 - The canine diarrhea PCR panel includes qualitative
detection and differentiation of the following canine diarrheagenic
pathogens using various PCR protocols:
Vets frequently see diarrhea in dogs that could be caused by a number
of different viral or bacterial agents. Treatment and quarantine
protocols differ among these pathogens, and can be costly and
stressful for animals and owners.
The Zoologix
canine diarrhea test panel is a powerful, cost-effective diagnostic
tool for use in these cases. Zoologix performs this panel using highly
specific and sensitive PCR test protocols to enable rapid, accurate
diagnosis.
All eight assays
are run from one fecal sample, eliminating multiple sampling
requirements.
Utilities:
-
Help confirm the pathogen causing diarrhea in dogs
-
Selection of appropriate treatment regimen
-
Shorten the time required to confirm a clinical
diagnosis
-
Help ensure that dog populations are free of listed
diarrheagenic pathogens
-
Early prevention of spread of listed pathogens
-
Minimize human exposure to listed pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products that derive
from susceptible animals
Specimen requirement:
0.5 ml feces, or two rectal swabs
For specimen types
other than those listed here, please call to confirm specimen
acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all specimen
types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during very warm
weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship with a cold pack
unless more stringent shipping requirements are specified. Frozen
specimens should be shipped so as to remain frozen in transit. See
shipping instructions for more
information.
