Cryptosporidium Parvum Antigen Detection Kit

Suitable for Horses & Equine, Sheep & Goats and Alpacas.

Common diarrhoea pathogen with zoonotic potential. This test is based on the latest rapid 'lateral flow' technique for the detection of Cryptosporidium in faecal samples.

Diarrhoea can lead to severe courses of disease up to death for all species.

Clinical symptoms can vary depending on age and immune status of the animal. Neonates and young animals are predominantly affected. Double infections are not uncommon. Special attention should be paid in the fact that Cryptosporidia play an important role independent of the diarrhoea problem (asymptomatic shedders).

In reptiles, C. Parvum often is diagnosed as non-pathogenic intestinal by passer (infected food animals). C. Parvum shedding reptiles therefore are a potential infection source for other animals as well as the owners (zoonosis).

A faecal sample is required to perform this test. The kit includes everything you need to send your us your sample, including prepaid postal envelope.
