Secure the Herd: Comprehensive Testing for Notifiable Livestock Diseases
Notifiable diseases refer to infectious diseases that are required by law to be reported to public health authorities. These diseases pose a significant risk to public health, animal welfare, and the economy. qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) testing solutions are vital for notifiable diseases as they provide accurate and efficient methods to detect and diagnose these diseases in animals. These testing techniques enable early identification, surveillance, and timely implementation of control measures, thus helping to prevent the spread of these diseases and mitigate their impact.
African swine fever virus
African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. It poses a significant threat to the global swine industry due to its high mortality rate and lack of a vaccine or specific treatment. ASFV is classified as a notifiable disease because it has the potential to cause severe economic losses, disrupt food security, and impact international trade. qPCR and ELISA testing solutions are crucial for ASFV as they provide rapid and accurate detection of the virus in affected animals. These testing methods enable early identification, surveillance, and control measures to be implemented swiftly, helping to prevent the spread of ASFV and minimize its devastating consequences on pig populations and the swine industry.
Avian influenza virus
Avian influenza virus (AIV), also known as bird flu, is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects birds, including domestic poultry and wild birds. It is classified as a notifiable disease due to the potential for the virus to spread rapidly and pose significant risks to both animal and human health. To effectively monitor and control avian influenza outbreaks, reliable and rapid diagnostic methods are crucial. Our solutions facilitate sensitive and specific detection of the avian influenza virus. These solutions enable early detection and accurate diagnosis, allowing for prompt implementation of control measures to prevent further spread of the disease.
Foot and mouth disease
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral infection that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including livestock such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. Its occurrence must be reported to the appropriate authorities because FMD poses a significant threat to the livestock industry, causing severe economic losses and potentially impacting international trade. To effectively control and prevent the spread of FMD, rapid and accurate diagnostic methods are crucial. Our solutions help enable early detection to minimize the impact of FMD outbreaks on livestock populations.
