Haemonchus contortus detection test kit by using qPCR. Haemonchus contortus is an important parasite of sheep and goats, but can infect other ruminants such as cattle, deer, camels, and llamas. The infection, called haemonchosis, causes large economic losses for farmers around the world, especially for those living in warmer climates. Together with H. contortus, H. placei is also a main ruminant parasite that predominates on cattle.

Haemophilus parasuis detection test kit by using qPCR. Haemophilus parasuis is one of the most important bacteria affecting pigs. Neonatal pigs are exposed to and colonized by the organism early in life but the pathogenesis is poorly understood. Some serotypes are responsible for Glasser’s disease, where affected pigs can die in less than two days. H. parasuis is present in all major swine-rearing countries and remains a significant pathogen in contemporary swine production systems.

Detection test kit of Hepatozoon spp. species by using qPCR. Hepatozoon is a genus of Apicomplexan protozoa. Despite their prevalence in amphibians and reptiles, the genus is better known in veterinary circles for causing a tick-borne disease called hepatozoonosis in some mammals. Hepatozoonosis results when an animal eats an infected tick (the disease is not spread by tick bites). Some species included are Hepatozoon muris and Hepatozoon canis, which typically infect mice and dogs.

Histophilus somni detection test kit by using qPCR. Haemophilus somnus, Haemophilus agni and Histophilus ovis is a parasitic organism that typically lives as a commensal organism in its host. This organism has 3 primary forms: reproductive tract, urinary tract, and respiratory tract; causing a wide variety of diseases ranging from pneumonia, abortion, arthritis, myocarditis, and septicemia in cattle, sheep, and American bison. It is able to spread throughout cattle herds undetected until symptoms begin to occur.

Infectious bursal disease virus detection test kit by using qPCR. Infectious bursal disease virus, only the serotype 1 viruses cause disease in poultry. The infectious bursal disease virus is responsible for Infectious bursal disease a highly contagious disease in young chickens. It has economic relevance to the poultry industry worldwide due to increased susceptibility to other diseases and negative interference with effective vaccination.

Infectious salmon anemia virus detection test kit by using qPCR. Infectious salmon anemia virus is related to the influenza viruses. It causes severe anemia to Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) affecting fish farms in Canada, Norway, Scotland, and Chile, causing severe losses to infected farms.

Detect expression of Interleukin 6 Chicken by using qPCR. Interleukin-6 is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a major role in regulating immune responses and acute phase reactions. It is produced by many different cell types and acts on B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells, and cells of the central nervous system. IL-6 stimulates the inflammatory and auto-immune processes in many diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression, Alzheimer’s Disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, Behçet’s disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Circumstantial evidence has suggested that a functional homolog of mammalian IL-6 exists in chickens. IL-6 is one of the most pleiotropic interleukins released at sites of injury or infection.

Lawsonia intracellularis detection test kit by using qPCR. Lawsonia intracellularis it causes intestinal hyperplasia mainly in pigs but can infect a wide range of mammalian and avian species. The disease has two clinical manifestations in pigs: acute hemorrhagic diarrhea and sudden death of pigs. L. intracellularis is widespread among swine herds in different types of production systems and in all parts of the world.

Detection by using qPCR of species of the genus Leishmania (Leishmania major, L. tropica, L. infantum, L. chagasi, L. donovani, L. mexicana venezuelensis, L. aethiopica, L. amazonensis, L. mexicana amazonensis, L. turanica, L. gerbilli, L. panamensis, L. braziliensis, etc.). Leishmania is a genus of Trypanosomatidprotozoa and is the parasite responsible for the disease leishmaniasis. Their primary hosts are vertebrates; Leishmania commonly infects hyraxes, canids, rodents, and humans.

Leptospira interrogans detection test kit by using qPCR. Leptospira interrogans is the causative agent of leptospirosis that can affect animals and humans, and is considered the most widespread zoonotic disease. Without treatment, leptospirosis can lead to kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure, respiratory distress, and in severe cases even death. The spread of the disease can be attributed to L. interrogans thriving in soil and water without a host for extended periods.

Leptospira species detection test kit by using qPCR. Leptospira is a genus of bacteria that causes Leptospirosis (also known as Weil’s syndrome, canicola fever, canefield fever, nanukayami fever, 7-day fever, Rat Catcher’s Yellows, Fort Bragg fever, black jaundice, and Pretibial fever) and affects humans as well as other animals. The infection is commonly transmitted to humans by allowing water that has been contaminated by animal urine to come in contact with unhealed breaks in the skin, the eyes, or the mucous membranes.

Detection by using qPCR of species of the virus causing Lumpy skin disease (LSDV). Lumpy skin disease mainly affects cattle and zebus but has also been seen in giraffes, African buffalo, and impalas. It is spread by biting insects.

Detection test kit of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and the vaccine strain 6/85 by using qPCR. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the causative agent of chronic respiratory disease in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys, chickens, game birds, pigeons, and passerine birds of all ages. M. gallisepticum strain 6/85 is the most widely used live vaccine to immunize flocks against Mycoplasma gallisepticum, thus differentiation from pathogenic strains is essential for disease control on farms.

Macrorhabdus ornithogaster detection test kit by using qPCR. Macrorhabdus ornithogaster, also known as avian gastric yeast, that can infect many species of birds worldwide. The fungus affects a wide range of bird species, from budgerigars to ostriches. Affected birds typically lose weight and die from malnourishment-related complications.

Maedi-Visna virus detection test kit by using qPCR. Maedi-Visna is a chronic viral disease prevalent in adult sheep, but rarely can be found in certain species of goat. It causes encephalitis and chronic pneumonitis. It is known as Visna when found in the brain, and Maedi when infecting the lungs. The natural transmission of Maedi-Visna virus is mostly by the respiratory route, but also to newborn lambs by colostrum and milk.

Mannheimia haemolytica detection test kit by using qPCR. Mannheimia haemolytica it is the cause of epizootic pneumonia in cattle known as pneumonic pasteurellosis (also shipping fever or transit fever). M. haemolytica Biotype A serotype 1, causes 90 % of cases together with Pasteurella multocida. M. haemolytica may contribute to enzootic pneumonia of calves, enzootic pneumonia of lambs and peritonitis in sheep. It also causes gangrenous mastitis in sheep.
