Cat Disease Antibodies/Pathogens

Cats are good friends of human beings, and they carry a variety of bacteria and viruses. These pathogens interact with each other to cause a variety of diseases, causing cats to experience symptoms such as high fever, anorexia, diarrhea, weight loss, and even death. Common cat diseases include cat scratch disease, toxoplasmosis, feline respiratory disease complex, feline leukemia, feline distemper, feline immunodeficiency disease, etc. Some of these diseases are zoonotic, and the widespread prevalence of cat diseases can pose a threat to the health of cats and humans. Therefore, assessing the health of cats is very important for the control and treatment of these disease.

Cat Disease Detection

In recent years, various assays have been developed to detect cat pathogens to assess the health status of cats to reduce cat mortality and the risk of zoonotic disease. Immunodiagnosis is a diagnostic method based on immunology that uses the specific immune response between antigens and antibodies to determine the immune status and detect various diseases. This method is commonly used to detect the presence of specific antibodies to cat pathogens in cat serum, plasma or anticoagulated whole blood samples to screen for cat disease.

BioVenic is a supplier of biological reagents and kits, and has been developing diagnostic reagents for animal pathogens for many years. Our goal is to be a great company that improves the health and well-being of pets and livestock.
