Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for companion animal disease testing
Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the various disease of
companion animals including dogs, cat, rabbit and so on. Detecting
the quantity of marker proteins from different samples may benefit
from ELISA, Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), colloidal gold
immunochromatographic assay, Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA),
turbidimetric inhibition immuno assay (TINIA), immunonephelometry
and POCT.

About companion animal disease testing
The companion animals such as dogs and cats are susceptible to many
diseases including personnel illnesses and infection. Infectious
diseases are transmitted by contact with infected dogs or cats or
wildlife. Disease causing agents (pathogens) include parasites,
viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Hundreds of these infectious
pathogens have the potential to be transmitted between dogs, cats
and other animals; however, only a subset of these commonly causes
problems.
Additionally, some of these pathogens can be spread
between companion animals and people (termed “zoonotic”), causing
illness in people adding additional concerns. When a case of
infectious disease is suspected, it is important to get a diagnosis
quickly and identify susceptible animals that might have been
exposed. The diagnosis of companion animal disease is complex
because the spectrum of clinical signs and clinicopathological
abnormalities is broad and often nonspecific.
