Description
The ViPrimePLUS Canine babesiosesis qPCR Kit is a Taqman probe-based real-time PCR assay for the detection of Canine babesiosesis genome in clinical blood samples.
Babesiosesis is worldwide recognized protozoal infection which causes fever, haemolytic anaemia and haemoglobinuria, mainly in cattle, dogs and horses. Canine babesiosesis is classified into large and small forms. Babesia canis, B. vogeli and B. rossi are the main causes of large Babesia infection. The smaller parasite includes Babesia gibsoni and B. annae. These species of Babesia are transmitted by different tick vectors and differ in pathogenicity and geographic distribution. The parasites can also be transmitted via blood transfusion, dog bites and vertical transmission from mother to the offspring. Young dogs are more prone to suffering the disease although all age of dogs can be infected. Severity of the disease and clinical signs vary depending on the parasite species. However, they mainly parasitize the red blood cells of the dogs, causing progressive anemia. Classical diagnosis method is based on blood smears presentation of parasite, but this method is less sensitive in detecting low parasitemia in chronic cases. Therefore, real time PCR can be an effective tool to overcome this shortcoming. Dimiazene aceturate is the most commonly used treatment but re-infection with B. gibsoni is common and so treatment should be repeated, alongside with the supportive therapy such as intravenous fluid replacement and blood transfusion.
ViPrimePLUS Canine babesiosesis qPCR Kit is intended for research use only.
