SaberVet Canine Ehrlichia/Anaplasma/Babesia Gibsoni/ Babesio-sis Antibody Combo Rapid Test is a lateral flow immuno-assay intended for the simultaneous qualitative detectionof specifc antibody from Ehrlichia(EHR)/ Anaplasma(ANA)/Babesia Gibsoni(BG)/Babesiosis(BC) in canineserum, plasma or whole blood samples. The test is useful for simultaneous determination of EHR/ANA/BG/BCinfection.

Detection methods
Ehrlich’s dog:
Blood smear test: Ehrlich’s bodies can be observed on a blood smear, and blood biochemistry and complete blood count indicate anemia, thrombocytopenia, etc.
