Bacteria

Mycoplasma haemolamae (Candidatus) detection test kit by using qPCR. Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae (formerly known as Eperythrozoon), is a red blood cell parasitic bacterium of llamas and alpacas. The bacterium attaches to the host red blood cells causing light to severe anemia.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a species of bacteria known to cause the disease porcine enzootic pneumonia, a highly contagious and chronic disease affecting pigs. This microorganism caused lesions in pigs infected with enzootic pneumonia (EP). EP is known to cause weight loss in pigs.

Mycoplasma hyorhinis detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma hyorhinis is often found as a commensal in the respiratory tract of pigs. It is thought to facilitate and exacerbate the development of diseases such as porcine enzootic pneumonia and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. Rarely, it may cause mycoplasma arthritis, mycoplasmal polyserositis, or mycoplasma septicemia in piglets.

Mycoplasma hyosynoviae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma hyosynoviae is one of the causing agents of infectious arthritis in pigs. M. hyosynoviae is ubiquitous and most, if not all herds are infected with it. Despite M. hyosynoviae is a respiratory spread disease, that infects joints and tendon sheaths producing an acute lameness. Infectious arthritis emerges as an important cause of lameness in pigs.

Mycoplasma mycoides detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma mycoides comprises two subspecies, mycoides and capri, which infect cattle and small ruminants such as goats respectively. Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides are parasites that can be found predominantly in cattle and goat hosts, causing the contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (formerly known as M. mycoides large colonies) is one of the etiologic agents of the contagious agalactia, causing mastitis, arthritis, and infectious keratoconjunctivitis.

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a respiratory pathogen of domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and another caprine that can both cause primary atypical pneumonia and also predispose infected animals to secondary pneumonia, including Mannheimia haemolytica. Populations of M. ovipneumoniae in infected sheep are often found to have varying strains of the bacterium within one animal, but the different strains vary in virulence.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a type of atypical bacteria that commonly causes mild infections of the respiratory system. The most common type of illness caused by these bacteria, especially in children, is tracheobronchitis, commonly called a chest cold. Sometimes M. pneumoniae can cause pneumonia, a more serious lung infection, which may require care in a hospital.

Mycoplasma putrefaciens detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma putrefaciens is common in milking goat herds. It can be isolated from the milk of animals with or without clinical signs, and milk production is usually severely affected. M. putrefaciens can cause mastitis and arthritis in goats, being one of the etiologic agents of the contagious agalactia syndrome, same as the one caused by M. agalactiae.

Mycoplasma spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma parasitize, on the surface or intracellularly, a wide range of organisms including humans, plants, animals, and insects. When Mycoplasma acts as a pathogen they cause chronic but mild infections that rarely kill their host.

Caprine mycoplasmas Mycoplasma spp., Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and Mycoplasma capricolum detection test kit by using qPCR. They parasitize, on the surface or intracellularly, a wide range of organisms including humans, plants, animals, and insects. M. ovipneumoniae is a respiratory pathogen of domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and another caprine that can both cause primary atypical pneumonia and predispose infected animals to secondary pneumonia with other agents. M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is the etiologic agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, a severe and typically lethal respiratory disease. M. capricolum subsp. capricolum infection is usually non-fatal and instead results in chronic inflammation in a variety of organs, including joints, udder, eyes, and lungs. M. capricolum subsp. capricolum infection occurs worldwide and appears widespread but has rarely been found in species of small ruminants other than domestic goats and, occasionally, sheep.

Mycoplasma suis detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma suis (formerly known as Eperythrozoon suis) is the most prevalent agent causing hemolytic anemia in swine, which is characterized by listlessness, fever, anorexia, hemolytic anemia, and, in severe cases, icterus. M. suis can cause acute disease, but the major significance of their infections lies in the fact that M. suis can establish chronic and persistent infections leading to a higher susceptibility to other infections, especially in the respiratory and digestive tracts.

Mycoplasma synoviae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma synoviae causes disease in the joints, bones, and respiratory system of birds. It is of economic relevance for the poultry industry because the infection can cause a drop in egg production. Transmission occurs both vertically and horizontally.

Detection test kit of four species of Mycoplasma (M. agalactiae, M. mycoides, M. capricolum and M. putrefaciens) by using qPCR. Contagious agalactia is a mycoplasmal disease of sheep and goats that can cause serious economic losses from mastitis, polyarthritis and keratoconjunctivitis. Contagious agalactia is classically caused by infection with Mycoplasma agalactiae, but M. capricolum, M. putrefaciens and M. mycoides subsp. capri can also cause this disease.

Mycoplasma haemofelis detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma haemofelis (formerly Haemobartonella felis) infect cats. It is the causative agent of feline infectious anemia. The bacteria can be transmitted from one animal to another by blood-feeding arthropods, such as fleas and ticks. The assay can detect closely related haemoplasmas as Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (previously classified also as Haemobartonella felis). Other haemoplasmas can be detected as well as M. haemocanis, M. coccoides, M. suis, M. wenyonii and M. parvum.

Mycoplasma mycoides cluster Mycoplasma mycoides, Mycoplasma capricolum and Mycoplasma putrefaciens detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma mycoides cluster is a group of closely related infectious mycoplasmas. Comprises the ruminant pathogens M. mycoides subsp. mycoides the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae the agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, M. capricolum subsp. capricolum, M. leachii and M. mycoides subsp. capri. M. putrefaciens is related to contagious agalactia together with some subspecies of M. capricolum and M. mycoides. Contagious bovine and caprine pleuropneumonia are major livestock diseases and impact the agricultural sector, especially in developing countries.

The expression of six virulence factors (faeG, eae, toxA from Escherichia coli, tcdA from Clostridium difficile and cpa, cpb2 from Clostridium perfringens) by using qPCR. Of all the diseases in the sucking piglet, diarrhea is the most common. Due to the limited body reserves of the newborn piglet, this will soon lead to a severe condition and the piglet may die within hours. The Kit allows the evaluation mRNA expression of six virulence factors from different organisms related to neonatal pig diarrhea. The E. coli genes: toxA, coding for the heat-labile enterotoxin (LT); eae, coding for the intimine and faeG, coding for the F4 fimbriae. The gene tcdA coding for the C. difficile toxin A. Genes cpa and cpb2 coding for the alpha and beta 2 toxins from C. perfringens.
