Reliable Heartworm Detection
Infection by heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is a life-threatening condition in dogs, and the ability to identify an infection early, before a patient shows any clinical signs, is crucial for beginning treatment when it is most impactful. The Accuplex heartworm antigen test is an effective tool to aid veterinarians in this detection.
A Lyme-positive Test Identifies Exposure, Not Illness—THE MAJORITY OF DOGS NEVER GET SICK
Once a dog tests positive for Lyme disease, it is important to monitor for clinical signs such as lameness, joint swelling, fever, lethargy, and decreased appetite. Treatment is indicated in patients exhibiting clinical signs and/or renal proteinuria.
Improved Detection of Ehrlichia spp.
Accuplex now tests for the presence of antibodies to three different Ehrlichia species: E. canis, E. ewingii, & E. chaffeensis. These pathogens can be transmitted by varying tick species with different endemic regions. Using Accuplex, you can rest assured knowing the species that may be in your back yard is covered.
Early And Reliable Detection Of A. Phagocytophilum
Early detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection is important to improve success in treatment and the Accuplex assay was able to detect A. phagocytophilum antibodies as early as 14 days post-infection.^2
*Detects patient antibodies against the C6 peptide derived from the VlsE protein of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Like all C6 tests, a positive result indicates infection (past or present.) Most infected dogs show no or mild clinical signs, and do not develop the clinical syndrome of Lyme disease.
