Quantitative analysis of the charge virale en coronavirus canin responsible for digestive disorders in puppies or adult dogs.
For more information regarding the SARS-CoV2 (Covid-19).
Test indications
- Diagnosis of coronavirosis in its digestive form.
- Evaluation you epidemiological risk (highlighting viral circulation in communities) and environmental contamination.
Test characteristics
- Real-time RT-PCR
- Detection threshold
- Quantitative load analysis.
Samples to be taken
- Rectal swab (including post-mortem, dry swab without transport medium).
- Environmental swab.
Interpretation of the result
- Negative result: Absence of virus and/or bacteria or quantity below the detection threshold.
- Positive result
- Low or very low viral load: Viral carriage without clinical significance.
- Medium, high or very high viral and/or bacterial load: These charges are compatible with coronavirosis or with a co-infection (infection with parvovirus or parasites such as Giardia or Coccidia should be sought). However, the coronavirus alone can cause hemorrhagic diarrhea and sudden deaths in puppies (especially between 2 and 3 months).
As the coronavirus is very frequently present in communities, it is important to take epidemiological and clinical elements into account when interpreting viral load results.
