Canine respiratory PCR panel
Test code: P0019
- Canine respiratory panel
This panel includes qualitative detection
and differentiation of the following canine respiratory
pathogens using various PCR protocols:
Vets frequently see generalized
respiratory symptoms in dogs that could be caused by a number of
different viral or bacterial agents. Recommended treatments and
quarantine protocols differ among these pathogens, and some can
be quite expensive and stressful for animals and owners.
The Zoologix respiratory test panel is a
powerful, cost-effective diagnostic tool for use in these
cases. Zoologix performs this panel using highly specific,
sensitive and fast PCR test protocols.
All six assays are run from one nasal swab,
eliminating multiple sampling requirements.
Utilities:
- Confirm the pathogen causing generalized respiratory
symptoms
- Selection of appropriate treatment regimen
- Shorten the time required to confirm a clinical
diagnosis
- Ensure that dog populations are free of listed
respiratory pathogens
- Early prevention of spread of listed respiratory
pathogens
- Minimize human exposure to listed respiratory pathogens
- Safety monitoring of biological products that derive
from susceptible animals
Specimen requirement:
Nasopharyngeal swab, shipped overnight at room temperature.
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.
