Sabervet Canine Heartworm Antigen/Ehrlichia/Lyme/Anaplasma Antibody Combo Rapid Test offered by Antigenne is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection of specific antigen from canine heartworm (CHW) and specific antibody from ehrlichia(EHR)/lyme(LYM)/anaplasma(ANA) in canine whole blood, serum or plasma samples. . The test is useful for simultaneous determination of CHW/EHR/LYM/ANA infection .
Description
Canine Heartworm Antigen & Canine Ehrlichia & Canine Lyme Disease & Canine Anaplasma Antibody Test
Canine Heartworm Disease, Canine Ehrlichiosis, Canine Lyme Disease and Canine Anaplasma Disease are common infectious diseases in dogs. Although they are caused by different pathogens and have their own characteristics, there are commonalities in some aspects.
Commonalities between canine heartworm, canine ehrlichiosis, canine lyme disease and canine anaplasma
Means of transmission
All are transmitted by vectors: canine heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, and the other three diseases are transmitted by ticks.
Clinical Symptoms
All four diseases may cause systemic symptoms such as fever, lethargy, and weight loss.
Geographic distribution
Globally distributed, especially more common in areas where ticks and mosquitoes are active.
Differences of canine heartworm, canine ehrlichiosis, canine Lyme disease, and canine Anaplasma
Pathogen
Canine Heartworm Disease: caused by Canine Heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis).
Canine Ehrlichiosis: caused by Ehrlichia canis.
Canine Lyme disease: caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
Canine Anaplasmosis: caused by Anaplasma (Babesia spp.).
