Canine Parvovirus TestWhy use Speed® Parvo?
Canine Parvovirus causes severe intestinal infections in puppies (haemorrhagic gastroenteritis). The risk of contamination with canine parvovirus is at its greatest between 6 and 12 weeks of age, when serum levels of maternal antibody drop (2). The risk of mortality is then very high (up to 50%). Due to the highly resistant nature of the virus in the environment, the disease may persist in a kennel endemically. In kennels, an early diagnosis of the disease is therefore fundamental.
When should you perform Speed® Parvo?
Speed® Parvo is a test for the detection of viral antigens. Thus, the virus can be detected in the faeces from the onset of the first symptoms.
In group boarding situations, Speed® Parvo enables the rapid implementation of prophylactic, isolation, and disinfection measures to limit the spread of the disease.
In most of countries, it is an offence to sell dogs that are infected with Parvovirus. Speed® Parvo ensures the rapid and early detection of the disease, from the end of the incubation period (3 to 4 days).
- Speed® Giardia can be used to detect the excretion of Giardia cysts in dogs, cats, and cattle, and thus implement a specific treatment programme from the onset of the very first signs.
- Quick and easy to perform, Speed® Giardia can be performed during a consultation or visit in only 10 minutes.
- Speed® Giardia can be stored for 16 months at room temperature, between 2 and 30°C.
