Poultry respiratory PCR panel.
NOTE: THIS PANEL IS NOT PERFORMED
ON SAMPLES TAKEN FROM BIRDS OWNED OR LOCATED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
Test
code: P0018
-
Poultry respiratory panel detects and differentiates six
clinically significant respiratory pathogens:
Aspergillus fumigatus
Infectious bronchitis
Infectious
laryngotracheitis
Infectious coryza
Ornithobacterium
rhinotracheale
Mycoplasma gallisepticum
Respiratory
symptoms in poultry can be caused by various viral, bacterial
and fungal agents. Treatments and quarantine protocols differ
among these pathogens, and some can be quite expensive -- not to
mention stressful for birds and staff!
The Zoologix
respiratory PCR test panel for poultry is a powerful but
economical tool for diagnosing respiratory cases in poultry. The
entire panel is run from three tracheal swabs, eliminating multiple
sampling requirements. Highly sensitive and specific
results are reported by email or fax three business days after
sample receipt.
Utilities:
-
Help confirm the disease causing agent
-
Shorten the time required to confirm clinical diagnosis
and differentiation of infection by several clinically
significant respiratory pathogens of poultry
-
Help ensure that flocks are free of these pathogens
-
Early prevention of spread of these pathogens among and
between flocks
-
Minimize human exposure to the pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products and vaccines
that derive from birds
Preferred specimen:
3 tracheal swabs.
Contact Zoologix if advice is needed to determine an appropriate specimen type for a specific diagnostic application. For specimen types not listed here, please contact Zoologix to confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all
specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during
very warm weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship
with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are
specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain
frozen in transit. See shipping
instructions for more information.
Turnaround time:
