Feline respiratory disease PCR panel

dog and cat assay data sheet

Feline respiratory PCR panel

Test code: P0020 - Feline respiratory panel includes qualitative detection and differentiation of the following feline respiratory pathogens using various PCR protocols:

Vets frequently see generalized respiratory symptoms in cats 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 throat 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 cat 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: Throat swab.

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.

Turnaround time: 3 business days

Methodology: Qualitative real time PCR and qualitative reverse transcription coupled real time PCR
