The Canine Coronavirus Antigen Rapid Test developed and produced by Antigenne is a rapid diagnostic tool specifically designed for detecting canine coronavirus (CCoV) infection. Canine coronavirus is a common canine enterovirus that mainly infects puppies and may cause serious gastrointestinal diseases. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for controlling virus transmission and providing appropriate treatment. Antigenne’s rapid detection card provides a reliable solution for veterinarians and pet owners due to its high efficiency, accuracy, and convenience.

Clinical symptoms of canine coronavirus

Canine coronavirus typically presents as acute gastroenteritis, with clinical symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and drowsiness. In some cases, diarrhea may be accompanied by blood or mucus, indicating a more severe condition. The symptoms of coronavirus infection are most severe in puppies, especially those with underdeveloped immune systems, which are prone to dehydration and rapid weight loss. If left untreated, it may lead to life-threatening situations.

Although canine coronavirus infection mostly occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, it can sometimes be accompanied by respiratory symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. Infected dogs typically exhibit a lack of energy, and their gastrointestinal symptoms may last for several days to weeks.

The transmissibility of canine coronavirus

Canine coronavirus is mainly transmitted through contact with the feces of infected dogs. Viruses can survive in the environment for several days, especially in cold and humid conditions. Therefore, even if dogs appear to recover after infection, they may still become carriers of the virus and spread it to other dogs. Puppies, dogs living in groups, and dogs with weaker immune systems face a higher risk of infection.

Pollutants in the environment, such as dog food bowls, toys, dog beds, etc., are all transmission routes. Viruses can enter dogs’ bodies through oral ingestion, so maintaining environmental hygiene is key to preventing canine coronavirus infection. Pet owners and veterinarians should also wash their hands strictly after handling infected dogs to prevent the virus from spreading to other dogs.

The curative effect of canine coronavirus

The cure for canine coronavirus infection is relatively high, and most dogs will gradually recover within a few days to weeks. Treatment usually focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing secondary infections, such as fluid replacement therapy, administering antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections, etc. Early detection and intervention in the early stages of infection can effectively shorten the course of the disease and reduce the impact of the virus on the health of dogs.

For puppies or immunocompromised dogs, coronavirus infection may lead to more serious complications such as severe dehydration or secondary bacterial infections, and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, rapid detection and timely treatment are crucial for these high-risk dogs.

Testing methods

When using the Antigenne canine coronavirus antigen rapid detection card, the operation steps are simple and clear, and anyone can easily complete it. The following is a detailed operation guide:

Sample collection: Use the matching sampling tool to collect a small amount of sample from the dog’s fecal sample. Ensure that the collected samples are fresh and not contaminated by other substances.

Sample processing: Place the collected sample into a diluent and mix thoroughly to ensure that the viral antigen is released. After mixing, a pipette can be used to extract the sample solution from the diluent.

Dropping sample: Accurately drop the sample solution into the sample well of the detection card. Usually, 3-4 drops of solution are sufficient for effective detection.

Waiting for results: Let it stand for 10 minutes and wait for the results to be displayed on the detection card. The detection card will display the results through color reaction to ensure reading within the specified time.

Testing precautions

When using the Antigenne Canine Coronavirus Antigen Rapid Test, there are several key considerations to keep in mind to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the test results:

Proper sample collection: When collecting samples, try to avoid sample contamination as much as possible. The sampling tool must be clean and the collected samples should be fresh to ensure the accuracy of the detection.

Strictly follow the operating instructions: Each step of the testing process should strictly follow the instructions. Especially in the sample processing and dripping steps, ensure accurate dripping of the sample solution to avoid result bias.

Environmental hygiene: During the operation, the testing environment should be kept clean to prevent cross contamination. In addition, used detection cards and tools should be disposed of properly to avoid virus transmission.

Timing for interpreting results: The test results should be read within the specified time. Reading the results too early or too late may affect the accuracy of the detection. It is recommended to carefully observe the detection window within 10 minutes.

Method for reading results

The results of the rapid detection card for canine coronavirus antigen are very easy to read, and the detection results can be obtained by observing the detection window:

Positive result: If two red lines (C line and T line) appear simultaneously in the detection window, it indicates the presence of canine coronavirus antigen in the sample, and the detection result is positive. At this point, it is recommended to take isolation and treatment measures as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the virus.

Negative result: If only one red line (C line) appears in the detection window, it indicates that no canine coronavirus antigen was detected in the sample, and the detection result is negative. But if the dog still shows clinical symptoms, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for further examination.

Invalid result: If there is no C-line or only a T-line in the detection window, it indicates that the detection is invalid. At this point, resampling and new testing are required to ensure that there are no omissions in the operation process.
