Cattle Viral RT-PCR Panel
RT-PCR tests for FMD, lumpy skin disease, BVD, bluetongue and IBR in one booking.
5 tests in one package · Sample: Swabs, blister fluid, skin nodule or blood, as the lab advises
The Cattle Viral RT-PCR Panel groups RT-PCR tests for five viruses that cause fever, mouth or skin lesions, abortion or breathing problems in cows and buffaloes: FMD, lumpy skin disease, BVD, bluetongue and IBR. RT-PCR (real-time PCR) looks for the virus's genetic material and can name the cause when signs look alike. FMD and lumpy skin disease are notifiable, so owners should tell their veterinarian or the animal husbandry department. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the animal's signs and history.
Tests inside this package

FMD Virus RT-PCR is a test that looks for the genetic material (RNA) of foot-and-mouth disease virus in samples from blisters or the mouth of cows and buffaloes. A vet takes the sample, and owners should tell their vet or the animal husbandry department about suspected cases.
RT-PCR / Molecular TestsSample: Vesicular fluid, epithelium, probang or swab

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) RT-PCR
Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) RT-PCR is a test that looks for the DNA of lumpy skin disease virus in skin lumps, scabs, swabs or blood of cows and buffaloes. It is commonly used to help confirm lumpy skin disease.
RT-PCR / Molecular TestsSample: Skin nodule, scab, swab or EDTA blood
-
BVD Virus RT-PCR is a test that looks for the genetic material (RNA) of bovine viral diarrhoea virus in serum, blood or an ear notch from cows and buffaloes. It can find animals with a current infection and persistently infected (PI) animals that spread the virus.
RT-PCR / Molecular TestsSample: Serum, EDTA blood or ear notch
-
Bluetongue RT-PCR looks for the genetic material (RNA) of bluetongue virus in a blood sample from cows and buffaloes. It can help your vet confirm infection, including in animals that look healthy.
RT-PCR / Molecular TestsSample: Whole blood (EDTA)
-
IBR RT-PCR looks for the DNA of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), the cause of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, in a nasal swab, semen or tissue. It can help your vet confirm IBR in cows, buffaloes and breeding bulls.
RT-PCR / Molecular TestsSample: Nasal swab, semen or tissue
