This product is designed for rapid screening of canine distemper virus (CDV), canine influenza virus (CIV) and canine adenovirus type II (CAVII) antigens in ocular and nasal secretion samples from dogs, and can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of CDV, CAVII and CAVII infections.
Canine infectious respiratory disease is a common disease in dogs, in which canine distemper virus, canine influenza virus and canine adenovirus type II are the common pathogens causing canine respiratory disease.
Canine distemper is a highly contagious and widespread disease of dogs and other carnivores. Canine distemper virus belongs to the measles virus genus and causes systemic infections throughout the body. Transmission is mainly by aerosol or direct contact. The incubation period after infection is short, with a mortality rate of about 50 per cent. It spreads rapidly in puppies, especially those aged 3-6 months. The incubation period is usually about 1 week. The initial increase in temperature of biphasic fever is not easy to detect, and when the temperature rises for the second time, the symptoms of ocular and nasal discharge, inflammation and enlarged tonsils are obvious. Coughing, vomiting and diarrhoea are usually secondary to infection. A red rash and pustules may appear on the abdomen. Acute cases may last for several weeks or develop neurological symptoms leading to death. Common neurological symptoms include paralysis, clonus and seizures.
Canine influenza virus (CIV) is a large infectious respiratory disease virus that spreads rapidly in dogs, causing clinical signs of respiratory distress such as coughing, runny nose, sneezing, fever, dyspnoea,
