Diagnostic antibodies and antigens for infectious and non-infectious equine/horse disease testing

Common health problems and infections are a constant threat to the health and welfare of horses. Several diseases have assumed greater importance as the performance and pleasure horse populations and equine activities have increased and there are new owners who do not understand the implications of equine infectious disease outbreaks to their animals. In addition, emerging diseases have beset the equine species in recent years. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the horse herpes myeloencephalopathy, respiratory disease, horse infectious anemia, equine influenza, thrombocytopenia, anaplasmosis, contagious equine metritis, horse viral arteritis, horse piroplasmosis, horse theileriosis, pneumonia; urinary tract infections, respiratory system infections, dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, bone and joint infections, gastrointestinal infections, eastern equine/horse encephalitis (EEE), equine/horse morbillivirus pneumonia and so on. Detecting the quantity of marker proteins from different samples may benefit from ELISA, Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay, Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), turbidimetric inhibition immuno assay (TINIA), immunonephelometry and POCT.

Most horses are very resilient animals, yet like all animals, they are subject to their own set of illnesses. They are susceptible to a number of common horse health problems and issues ranging from illness and disease, to injuries. Horse owners are responsible for the supervision of horses should be able to recognize signs of ill health. It is also important that owners/keepers to diagnose or treat any illness, injury or disease. Hence, Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the Arthritis/Osteoarthritis, laminitis, Equine Cushing’s Disease and so on.
