The gold standard test for canine distemper is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and virus isolation. PCR is widely used for detecting Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) genetic material in bodily fluids, while virus isolation allows direct identification of the virus in laboratory conditions. These methods are highly sensitive and specific, but they require specialized equipment and longer processing times. In clinical settings, rapid antigen and antibody tests provide a more immediate diagnosis, aiding veterinarians in prompt decision-making.Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects dogs and other carnivores. It primarily spreads through airborne respiratory secretions, direct contact, or contaminated surfaces. The virus attacks multiple organ systems, including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, leading to severe health complications.

Common Symptoms of Canine Distemper

Dogs infected with CDV often exhibit the following symptoms:

1. Fever

2. Watery or pus-like eye discharge

3. Respiratory distress, coughing, and nasal discharge

4. Vomiting and diarrhea

5. Neurological signs such as tremors, seizures, and limb weakness

Due to overlapping symptoms with other diseases, confirmatory testing is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Подтверждающие тесты на собачью дистемперу

Для подтверждения заражения CDV используется несколько методов диагностики:

•PCR Testing: Considered the gold standard for detecting CDV RNA in samples such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or respiratory secretions.

•Virus Isolation: The virus is grown in specialized lab cultures, providing direct evidence of infection.

•Serological Tests: Antibody detection can confirm exposure or vaccination response.

•Rapid Antigen and Antibody Tests: Useful for fast diagnosis in clinical settings.

SaberVet Rapid Testing Solutions for CDV

While PCR and virus isolation remain the gold standard, rapid testing plays a crucial role in immediate disease detection. SaberVet has developed two rapid diagnostic solutions:

SaberVet Canine Distemper Virus Antibody Rapid Test

1. Sample Type: Whole blood, serum, or plasma

2. Results in: 10 minutes

3. Technology: Immunochromatographic assay

4. Benefits: Determines past exposure or vaccination status

How to Perform the SaberVet Rapid Tests

1.The appropriate sample is collected and applied to the test device.

2.A buffer solution is added to facilitate the reaction.

3.Results are read after 10 minutes.

Интерпретация результатов тестирования

Positive: Two lines (test and control) indicate CDV Ab detection.

Negative: Only the control line appears, confirming no CDV Ab presence.

Invalid: No control line appears, requiring a retest.

Precautions for Accurate Testing

To ensure reliable results, the following precautions should be observed:

Fresh samples should be used to avoid degradation.

Тестирование должно проводиться при комнатной температуре.

Results should be interpreted within the designated timeframe.
