Canine distemper, as a highly contagious viral infection, has always been a focus of attention for pet owners and veterinarians in the pet medical field. It is caused by Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), which not only spreads quickly, but also has a mortality rate of over 80%. In order to effectively combat this threat, Antigenne has launched the Canine Distemper Virus Rapid Test, which has become an important tool for pet health protection due to its rapid and accurate characteristics.

Clinical signs of Canine Distemper

The clinical signs of distemper are complex and varied, and can be divided into three stages: early, middle and late. Initial symptoms are similar to a cold, with the dog’s body temperature rising to 39.5℃~41℃, accompanied by loss of appetite, depression, watery discharge from the eyes and nose, sneezing and diarrhea. As the disease progresses to the middle stage, the sick dog’s body temperature may rise again, coughing worsens, purulent nasal discharge and eye droppings appear, vomiting and diarrhea worsens, appetite is completely abolished, and the spirit is highly depressed, even lethargic. In the later stages, the dog may develop severe neurological symptoms such as convulsions and foaming at the mouth, and the condition may deteriorate to such an extent that treatment becomes significantly more difficult.

Detection Methods of CDV

The Canine Distemper Virus Rapid Test (cdv ag)is based on the principle of immunochromatography and is a rapid test for the detection of Canine Distemper Virus in dogs. The cdv test has a window to observe the test and read the results. Before the test, a sample of the conjunctiva, nasal cavity, saliva and other secretions of the sick dog is collected and applied to the sample hole on the test card. If CDV antibodies are present in the sample, a visible line will appear in the T-zone (test zone) of the test window, while a line in the C-zone (control zone) will always appear, indicating a valid result. The Distemper testing method is easy to perform, results of cdv testing are read quickly (5-10 minutes), and the sensitivity and specificity are high, providing pet owners and veterinarians with a timely and reliable diagnostic basis.

Transmissibility of Distemper

Canine distemper virus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory and digestive tracts. Respiratory transmission is mainly through droplet transmission, and sneezes and saliva of sick dogs can be transmitted to healthy dogs through the air. Digestive tract transmission occurs through licking objects or food contaminated with the virus. In addition, the conjunctival route is also a mode of virus transmission. Affected dogs and carrier dogs can excrete the virus through nasal fluid, tears, saliva, urine and exhaled gases, causing environmental contamination and further exacerbating the risk of transmission. Therefore, dogs kept in the same environment are susceptible to mutual transmission regardless of isolation measures.

Treatment of CDV

Comprehensive measures are needed for the treatment of canine distemper. In the early stage, large quantities of highly immune serum and immunoglobulin should be applied for emergency passive immunization, and anti-infection, anti-virus and anti-shock drugs should be given at the same time. Mid- and late-stage treatment requires adjusting the program according to the condition, including measures such as blood transfusion, cardiac strengthening, and fluid rehydration. For advanced cases with neurological symptoms, herbal medicine with acupuncture may be tried. However, because of the seriousness and rapid progression of canine distemper and the difficulty of treatment, prevention is especially important.

Vaccination of Distemper

The most effective way to prevent canine distemper is through vaccination. Regular vaccinations against canine distemper can significantly boost a dog’s immunity and reduce the risk of infection. In addition, owners should also take care to keep their pets’ living environment clean and hygienic, and avoid taking their dogs to places where pets congregate to minimize exposure to the virus.

In conclusion, Canine Distemper Virus Rapid Test plays an important role in the early diagnosis and prevention and control of canine distemper as a rapid and accurate detection tool. Combined with scientific vaccination and reasonable treatment measures, we can better guard the health of our beloved dogs and let them grow up in happiness.
