Short descriptionCanine combo lateral-flow rapid test for detection of heartworm (Dirofilaria) antigen and antibodies to Ehrlichia, Babesia and Anaplasma; intended for use with blood samples (serum/plasma/whole blood).
OverviewThe SaberVet combo rapid test provides point-of-care screening for canine heartworm antigen and serological detection of antibodies against Ehrlichia spp., Babesia spp. and Anaplasma spp. It is designed to support veterinary diagnosis, triage and disease management in clinical and field settings.
Clinical contextCanine heartworm (dirofilariosis), ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis are prevalent vector-borne diseases in dogs that can present with systemic signs such as fever, lethargy, anorexia, weight loss and anaemia. Transmission occurs via arthropod vectors: mosquitoes for heartworm and ticks for Ehrlichia, Babesia and Anaplasma. Early detection aids timely treatment and control measures.
Detection methods & use- Antigen detection: lateral-flow immunoassay to identify circulating heartworm antigen in blood; commonly used for screening.
- Antibody detection: serological lateral-flow detection of anti-Ehrlichia, anti-Babesia and anti-Anaplasma antibodies to indicate exposure or infection.
- Complementary clinical methods: blood smear examination (microfilariae, Babesia, Anaplasma), PCR for pathogen DNA, thoracic imaging for cardio-pulmonary assessment, and blood biochemistry/hematology for anaemia and organ function evaluation.
Performance & Storage- Reported sensitivity: 99% (clinical studies).
- Reported specificity: 98.8% (clinical studies).
- Shelf life: 24 months when stored at 2–30°C; suitable for room-temperature field use without refrigeration.
