Diagnostic anti-Taylorella equigenitalis antibodies pairs and antigen for animal health (animal Equine/Horse infectious disease contagious equine metritis) testing in ELISA, colloidal gold-based Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), CLIA, TINIA and POCT

Genemedi produces core animal health diagnostic ingredients-validated anti-Taylorella equigenitalis antibodies pairs and antigens for rapid test kit of animal Equine/Horse infectious disease with contagious equine metritis to evaluate the  animal health of Equine/Horse. The paired antibodies are both monoclonal antibody (mab). All the antibodies and antiges of animal disease test are suitable for in ELISA, colloidal gold-based Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), CLIA, TINIA and POCT. The antibody can act as a capture antibody and detection antibody. Antigens are validated as positive control materials. Taylorella equigenitalis is a small, slow-growing (3–7 days on specialized hemolyzed blood agar), Gram-negative, microaerophilic, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive but otherwise biochemically unreactive coccobacillus. It is the cause of contagious equine metritis (CEM), which was first defined in Newmarket in 1977. It causes epidemic acute endometritis, with clinical signs varying from a copious mucoid/gray vaginal discharge, which may be first seen as early as 2 days after mating, to no gross signs of abnormality. The acute endometritis usually causes conception failure, but some mares resolve the acute infection soon enough to allow conception and normal pregnancy to proceed. Taylorella equigenitalis is transmitted by either carrier stallions or mares directly during mating or by indirect genital contact with contaminated fomites (vaginal speculums, artificial vagina, or wash buckets).1 There is evidence that transmission of T. equigenitalis through the use of fresh cooled or extended semen (with antibiotics) from an infected stallion is possible2 but most likely infrequent.
