Designed for Detection test kit of the five variants of the membrane protein omlA of the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (omlA I, omlA II, omlA III+IV, omlA IV and omlA V) by using qPCR. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (previously Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae), is a respiratory pathogen found in pigs and was found to be the causative agent for up to 20% of all bacterial pneumonia cases in swine. Due to omlA nucleotide sequence differences, isolates can be separated into five groups related with the different serotypes. As the sequences of the omlA III and omlA IV are highly conserved, omlA III positives must be inferred from two different tests. Positives for omlA III are positive for omlA III+IV and negatives for omlA IV.
Mycoplasma mycoides cluster Mycoplasma mycoides, Mycoplasma capricolum and Mycoplasma putrefaciens detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycoplasma mycoides cluster is a group of closely related infectious mycoplasmas. Comprises the ruminant pathogens M. mycoides subsp. mycoides the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae the agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, M. capricolum subsp. capricolum, M. leachii and M. mycoides subsp. capri. M. putrefaciens is related to contagious agalactia together with some subspecies of M. capricolum and M. mycoides. Contagious bovine and caprine pleuropneumonia are major livestock diseases and impact the agricultural sector, especially in developing countries.
Caprine mycoplasmas Mycoplasma spp., Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and Mycoplasma capricolum detection test kit by using qPCR. They parasitize, on the surface or intracellularly, a wide range of organisms including humans, plants, animals, and insects. M. ovipneumoniae is a respiratory pathogen of domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and another caprine that can both cause primary atypical pneumonia and predispose infected animals to secondary pneumonia with other agents. M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is the etiologic agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, a severe and typically lethal respiratory disease. M. capricolum subsp. capricolum infection is usually non-fatal and instead results in chronic inflammation in a variety of organs, including joints, udder, eyes, and lungs. M. capricolum subsp. capricolum infection occurs worldwide and appears widespread but has rarely been found in species of small ruminants other than domestic goats and, occasionally, sheep.
Detection test kit of four species of Mycoplasma (M. agalactiae, M. mycoides, M. capricolum and M. putrefaciens) by using qPCR. Contagious agalactia is a mycoplasmal disease of sheep and goats that can cause serious economic losses from mastitis, polyarthritis and keratoconjunctivitis. Contagious agalactia is classically caused by infection with Mycoplasma agalactiae, but M. capricolum, M. putrefaciens and M. mycoides subsp. capri can also cause this disease.
Leptospira interrogans detection test kit by using qPCR. Leptospira interrogans is the causative agent of leptospirosis that can affect animals and humans, and is considered the most widespread zoonotic disease. Without treatment, leptospirosis can lead to kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure, respiratory distress, and in severe cases even death. The spread of the disease can be attributed to L. interrogans thriving in soil and water without a host for extended periods.
