Canine Distemper Virus RT-PCR

Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) RT-PCR is a highly sensitive molecular diagnostic test that detects viral RNA in clinical samples. This advanced testing method allows for early detection of CDV infection, often before clinical signs appear or antibody responses develop, enabling timely intervention and management of this potentially fatal disease.

More Information

Canine Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease affecting dogs and other wildlife species. It attacks multiple body systems, particularly the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. Our RT-PCR test can detect CDV in various samples including nasal/ocular discharges, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), enabling early intervention, which is crucial for improving outcomes in affected animals.

Purpose of CDV RT-PCR Testing
Early Detection: Identify infection before clinical signs appear.
Confirmation of Diagnosis: Verify clinical suspicion of canine distemper.
Outbreak Management: Control spread in kennels, shelters, or multi-dog households.
Treatment Guidance: Inform appropriate supportive care and isolation measures.
