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. However, 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.

Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for dog/canine infectious and non-infectious disease testing

Dogs are the best friends, and most human keep companion animals for its ompanionship. Dogs need a proper space, diet and health care for their healthy life. However, sometimes the dogs are affected by the different infectious diseases such as amyloidosis, anaplasmosis, anemia, intestinal infection, canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, canine herpes, canine infectious tracheobronchitis, canine parvovirus infection, conjunctivitis, croup, dirofilariasis, gastroenteritis, hepatitis, hormone disorders, inflammation, leptospirosis, mediterranean spotted fever, otitis media, pancreatitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, pregnancy, rabies, rocky mountain spotted fever, spotted fever group rickettsia, tracheobronchitis, visceral leishmaniasis and so on. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect these diseases at early stages.

Dog is known to be a very intelligent animal that can detect human psychology easily, and even a well-trained dog can be used as a substitute of a qualified person to perform certain specific crucial functions. Further, dogs play a pivotal role to detect crimes and criminals. The common diseases of dogs can be categorized into infectious, non-infectious, and non-specific diseases. Among non-infectious diseases, dogs are mostly prone to fracture, lacerated wound, abortion, dystocia, Cancer, Diabetes and vitamin deficiency and the most frequent non-specific cases are gastroenteritis, otorrhea, dermatitis, and alopecia. A good knowledge of the epidemiology of these diseases of dogs is important for their prevention and control. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the various non-infectious disease of dogs.

Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for cat/feline infectious and non-infectious disease testing

Cats are credited with promoting socialization among older individuals and physically or mentally disabled people. Research has shown that cats can provide emotional support, improve moods, and contribute to the overall morale of their owners. Although cats are great companions, cat owners should be aware that sometimes cats can carry harmful germs that can cause a variety of illnesses. Since cats are fiercely independent and sometimes mysterious little creatures, it can be difficult for companion animal parents to tell the difference between a minor issue and a serious health problem. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the amyloidosis, anaplasmosis, canine angiostrongylosis, canine brucellosis, cardiac disease, cat HIV, cat scratch disease, feline infectious enteritis, feline infectious peritonitis, feline panleukopenia, feline viral rhinotracheitis, hormone disorders, inflammation of feline conjunctiva, leishmaniasis, leukemia, pancreatitis, respiratory disease, rhinitis and so on.

No one likes to think about their cat getting sick or contracting a disease, but unfortunately there are many diseases affect the cat. It is important to understand signs and symptoms of cat and most importantly to prevent cat diseases. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the non-infectious disease such as chronic kidney disease, degenerative joint disease (arthritis), diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperthyroidism lower urinary tract disease, obesity and so on.

Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for rabbit infectious disease and non-infectious testing

Rabbits are perhaps the most popular small mammals kept as companion animals. They make great companions and can live a dozen or more years when they are cared for properly. However, they do commonly develop a few illnesses and infection that all rabbit owners should be aware to prevent the disease. The most common diseases of rabbits include rabbit hemorrhagic disease and so on have been detected using the antigen and antibody produced by Genemedi.

It’s important to know how to care and prevent common types of rabbit illness. Rabbits fed with a suitable diet and kept in a healthy environment can live as long as 10 to 12 years. The most common diseases of rabbits include digestive system problems, respiratory infections, and skin disorders. In addition to the infectious disease testing, Genemedi also developed antigen and antibody to detect the common rabbit illness.
