Bacteria

Designed for the Detection test kit of the three Apx toxins of the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (ApxI, ApxII and ApxIII) by using qPCR. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (previously Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae) is a respiratory pathogen found in pigs and was found to be the causative agent for up to 20% of all bacterial pneumonia cases in swine. One of the more important is the production and release of the Apx toxins, which are subdivided into four types: ApxI through ApxIV (ApxIV is expressed in all serotypes). Each serotype is described to express different amounts of the four Apx toxins.

Designed for Detection test kit of the five variants of the membrane protein omlA of the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (omlA I, omlA II, omlA III+IV, omlA IV and omlA V) by using qPCR. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (previously Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae), is a respiratory pathogen found in pigs and was found to be the causative agent for up to 20% of all bacterial pneumonia cases in swine. Due to omlA nucleotide sequence differences, isolates can be separated into five groups related with the different serotypes. As the sequences of the omlA III and omlA IV are highly conserved, omlA III positives must be inferred from two different tests. Positives for omlA III are positive for omlA III+IV and negatives for omlA IV.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly Ehrlichia phagocytophilum is a obligate bacterium of neutrophils. It causes anaplasmosis in sheep and cattle, also known as tick-borne fever and pasture fever.

Anaplasma spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Anaplasma is a genus of rickettsiales bacteria. Anaplasmas reside in host blood cells and lead to the disease anaplasmosis. Some species of the genus of veterinary interest include A. marginale, A. centrale in cattle; A. mesaeterum, A. ovis in sheep and goats and A. phagocytophilum in dogs, cats, and horses. A. phagocytophilum can infect also humans.

The Bacterial swine diarrhea designed for the Detection test kit of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, Brachyspira pilosicoli and Lawsonia intracellularis by using qPCR. Enteric bacterial infections are among the most common and economically significant diseases affecting swine production worldwide. This panel was designed to detect three microorganisms related to bacterial swine diarrhea. Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (formerly Treponema hyodysenteriae and Serpulina hyodysenteriae), Brachyspira pilosicoli (formerly Serpulina pilosicoli), Lawsonia intracellularis.

Bartonella henselae detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly known as Rochalimaea henselae, is a bacterium that infects both cats and humans. When cats are infected, they show no symptoms; in humans, the bacterium has different effects on immunocompromised individuals and immunocompetent individuals. In immunocompetent individuals, B. henselae can cause cat-scratch disease (bartonellosis).

Bibersteinia trehalosi detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly known as Pasteurella trehalosi is a relevant pathogen of sheep, causing systemic infections. It also causes pneumonia in ruminants, septicaemic pasteurellosis in feeder lambs, and mastitis in sheep.

This real-time PCR (qPCR) kit allows detection of Bibersteinia trehalosi bacteria

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly Treponema hyodysenteriae and Serpulina hyodysenteriae is a pathogenic bacteria colonizes the large intestine of pigs causing dysentery. Swine dysentery is easily spread by the fecal-oral route due to the ability of B. hyodysenteriae to survive several weeks in moist feces from infected pigs. The disease can lead to stunted growth rates and death, which can be extremely costly when the swine are raised for food purposes.

Brachyspira pilosicoli detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly Serpulina pilosicoli it causes intestinal spirochaetosis in pigs, but it has also been isolated from dogs, birds and mice and also can cause zoonotic infection in humans. Dogs are thought to be a source of infection for people. Infection of B. pilosicoli is acquired through the fecal-oral route. Affected pigs may be inappetent and grow slowly.

Brucella spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Brucella is the cause of brucellosis, which is zoonosis. It is transmitted by ingesting contaminated food, direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Some of the names for brucellosis include (human disease/animal disease): Malta fever/Bang’s disease, Undulant fever/enzootic abortion, Mediterranean fever/epizootic abortion, Rock fever of Gibraltar/slinking of calves, Gastric fever/ram epididymitis and Contagious abortion/spontaneous abortion.

Detection test kit of Campylobacter coli by using qPCR. Campylobacter coli usually lives in the intestinal tract of animals. C. coli is very similar to its bacteria relative, Campylobacter jejuni; both cause inflammation of the intestine and cause diarrhea in infected animals and humans. C. coli is of the worldwide prevalence and is common in both developed and developing countries with most outbreaks related to food or water-borne causes.

Campylobacter fetus detection test kit by using qPCR. C. fetus causes abortion in cattle and sheep, in addition, is an opportunistic human pathogen and can cause bacteremia and thrombophlebitis. There exist two subspecies of C. fetus: one was Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus and the other Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis. Both are responsible for abortions by using different mechanisms of transmission.

Detection test kit of Campylobacter fetus subsp. veneralis by using qPCR. Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis is the causative agent of bovine genital campylobacteriosis, asymptomatic in bulls the disease is spread to female cattle causing catarrhal inflammation in the female genital tract, temporary infertility, and prolonged oestrus cycle. Endometritis prevents implantation until the infection is cleared and causes early embryonic death and occasionally sporadic abortion.

Campylobacter hepaticus detection test kit by using qPCR. It is responsible for spotty liver disease, a persistent problem in the poultry industries. Affected flocks can have a reduction in egg production of up to 25 %, and an increase in mortality by up to 10 %.

Detection test kit for Canine disease pathogens detection by using qPCR: Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., Leishmania spp., Brucella spp., Dirofilariimmiti, Hepatozoon spp., Mycoplasma haemofelis/haemocanis and Bartonella henselae. Infectious diseases in dogs are caused by a wide variety of infectious agents including viruses, bacteria, and parasites (protozoa and helminths). Most of them have their own morbidity and mortality in dogs and some of these infections are of zoonotic relevance. This panel is designed to detect most of the common infections in dogs as: Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., Leishmania spp., Brucella spp., Dirofilaria immitis, Hepatozoon spp., Mycoplasma haemofelis/haemocanis and Bartonella henselae.
