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.

Moraxella bovis detection test kit by using qPCR. Moraxella bovis is implicated in the infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, an eye disease of cattle, also colloquially known as pinkeye or New Forest eye. M. bovis invades the lacrimal and tarsal glands of the eye, causing keratitis, opacity, uveitis, aqueous flare, and corneal ulcers. Transmission is through direct contact with mucous membranes and their secretions or indirect contact where flies act as a mechanical vector.

Moraxella bovoculi detection test kit by using qPCR. Moraxella bovoculi has been described as associated with the infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, usually caused by M. bovis, an eye disease of cattle also known as pinkeye or New Forest eye. It is the most common ocular disease of cattle and manifests as corneal ulceration and edema, ocular pain, photophobia and lacrimation.

Mouse mammary tumor virus detection test kit by using qPCR. Mouse mammary tumor virus is a milk-transmitted ssRNA retrovirus. MMTV was formerly known as Bittner virus, and previously the ‘milk factor’ referring to the extra-chromosomal vertical transmission of murine breast cancer by adoptive nursing. The majority of mammary tumors in mice are caused by the mouse mammary tumor virus.

Detection test kit of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) by using qPCR. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, which affects ruminants such as cattle, and is also perhaps responsible for Crohn’s disease in humans. Recent studies have shown that MAP present in milk can survive pasteurization, which has raised human health concerns.

Mycobacterium bovis detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycobacterium bovis is the agent responsible for bovine tuberculosis, however, it can also cause the disease in humans if there is the consumption of infected milk. The pathology of M. bovis is similar to M. tuberculosis in humans, causing chronic debilitation, coughing, and further spread to other organs.

Mycoplasma agalactiae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma agalactiae can be present in the milk of sheep and goats and can cause mastitis in the animal. The disease is known as contagious agalactia. M. mycoides subsp. capri, and M. capricolum subsp. capricolum and M. putrefaciens have also been isolated from goats with mastitis and arthritis. In serious outbreaks of infections with M. agalactiae, whole herds have been lost.

Mycoplasma capricolum detection test kit by using qPCR. M. capricolum subsp. capricolum and M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae are closely related subspecies of the M. mycoides cluster. M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is the etiologic agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, a severe and typically lethal respiratory disease. 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 conjunctivae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma conjunctivae is the etiological agent of the infectious keratoconjunctivitis, a clinical condition that affects small domestic and wild ruminants. While sheep and goats usually appear in form of transitory blindness causing little concern and economic consequences.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum by using qPCR. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the causative agent of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys, chickens, game birds, pigeons, and passerine birds of all ages. M. gallisepticum is transmitted through the eggs of carrier hens. Most commercial flocks are M. gallisepticum free, however, and the disease is most frequently introduced from carrier birds being brought into the flock. Stress is thought to lower the poults resistance to the disease, like in CRD.

Detection test kit of Mycoplasma gallisepticum vacunal strain 6/85 by using qPCR. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the causative agent of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys, chickens, game birds, pigeons, and passerine birds of all ages. Strain 6-85 is the most widely used live vaccines of Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and differentiation from field strains is essential for disease control on farms.

Mycoplasma haemofelis/haemocanis detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma haemofelis (formerly Haemobartonella felis) and Mycoplasma haemocanis (formerly Haemobartonella canis) are parasitic bacteria infecting cats and dogs respectively. The disease leads to massive bacteremia of red blood cells and severe hemolytic anemia (haemobartonellosis). The bacteria can be transmitted from one animal to another by blood-feeding arthropods, such as fleas and ticks.
