Detection test kit of the 4 major toxins from Clostridium perfringens (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota) by using qPCR. Clostridium perfringens is a ubiquitous pathogen that produces many toxins and hydrolytic enzymes related to different diseases. This bacterium has 5 different toxin types (named A, B, C, D and E) and 4 major toxins (named Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota).

Clostridium spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Clostridium genus contains around 100 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. The main species responsible for diseases are: Clostridium botulinum causes botulism; Clostridium difficile causes diarrhoea; Clostridium perfringens causes gas gangrene; Clostridium tetani causes tetanus and Clostridium sordellii can cause a fatal infection in exceptionally rare cases after medical abortions.

Coxiella burnetii detection test kit by using qPCR. It is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen and is the causative agent of Q fever. C. burnetii is highly resistant to environmental stresses such as high temperature, osmotic pressure, and ultraviolet light. This organism may be found in cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic mammals, including cats and dogs.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus detection test kit by using qPCR. It is the most widespread tick-borne viral infection worldwide. The virus causes severe viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks, with a case fatality rate up to 40 %. Transmission to humans occurs through contact with infected ticks (Hyalomma genus) or domestic and wild animals.

Cronobacter sakazakii detection test kit by using qPCR. Cronobacter sakazakii (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) has been found in wastewater and a variety of dry foods, including powdered infant formula, skimmed milk powder, herbal teas, and starches. In infants, it can cause bacteremia, meningitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The bacterium is ubiquitous and can be isolated from a wide range of environments and foods.

Cryptococcus neoformans/gatti detection test kit by using qPCR. Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are two closely related species of encapsulated yeast belonging to the Cryptococcaceae family. C. neoformanss is an obligate aerobe that can live in both plants and animals and can cause cryptococcosis in immunocompromised, hosts. C. gattii (formerly known as Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii) is found primarily in tropical/subtropical climates and causes human pulmonary cryptococcosis, basal meningitis, and cerebral cryptococcosis.

Cryptosporidium spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Cryptosporidium can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal illness (cryptosporidiosis). The disease primarily involves watery diarrhea (intestinal cryptosporidiosis) with or without a persistent cough (respiratory cryptosporidiosis) in both, immunocompetent and immunodeficient humans. In humans, the main ones responsible for the disease are C. parvum and C.hominis (previously C.parvum genotype 1) but C. canis, C. felis, C. meleagridis and C. muris can also cause disease in humans.

Cytauxzoon spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Cytauxzoon spp. is a tick-borne protozoan parasite. Some Cytauxzoon species infect wild and domestic felids causing a severe, and often fatal disease. Clinical signs are the result of severe intravascular hemolysis and include anemia, icterus, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly.

Dirofilaria immitis detection test kit by using qPCR. Dirofilaria immitis (also known as heartworm or dog heartworm) is a parasitic roundworm, a type of filarial worm, that causes dirofilariasis. It is spread from host to host through the bites of mosquitoes. The definitive host is the dog, but it can also infect cats, wolves, coyotes, jackals, foxes, ferrets, bears, seals, sea lions, and, under rare circumstances, humans.

Detection test kit of the “phylogenetic core” of the Dobrova-Belgrade virus by using qPCR. This qPCR test would cover the core of DOBV. This cluster includes the reference strains described for the virus and the Dobrava-Belgrade virus.

Dreissena polymorpha detection test kit by using qPCR. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is a small freshwater mussel. The zebra mussel has been accidentally introduced to numerous other areas and has become an invasive species in many countries worldwide. They disrupt the ecosystems by monotypic colonization, and damage harbors and waterways, ships and boats, and water treatment and power plants.

Detection test kit of Eastern equine encephalitis virus by using qPCR. Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), commonly called Triple Eor, sleeping sickness. EEE is found today in the eastern part of the country and is often associated with coastal plains.
