Pregnancy in dogs and cats is not always obvious during its early stages. Changes in appetite, behavior, body weight, or abdominal size may develop as pregnancy progresses, but these observations alone cannot reliably confirm pregnancy. Relaxin is a hormone produced primarily by placental tissue during pregnancy. In dogs and cats,…

Pet Skin Infections: A Closer Look at Molecular Pathogen Detection

Why Are Skin Problems So Common in Cats and Dogs? Itching, hair loss, redness, scaling, crusting, and skin lesions are among the signs that frequently bring cats and dogs to veterinary clinics. However, similar-looking skin problems can have very different causes, ranging from allergies and parasites to bacterial and fungal…

Canine & Feline Insulin Testing: Decoding Metabolic Clues

Insulin is a major metabolic hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. One of its most important roles is helping regulate blood glucose by coordinating how glucose is used and stored throughout the body. Because insulin secretion is closely linked to blood glucose concentration, measuring insulin can provide…

Newcastle Disease in Poultry: Crucial Signs and NDV Antigen Testing

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting domestic poultry and many other bird species. Depending on the virulence of the virus and the susceptibility of the affected birds, outbreaks may cause severe disease and considerable losses in poultry populations. Chickens are particularly susceptible to severe forms of…

Recognizing Canine Leishmaniosis: From Clinical Signs to Antibody Testing

What Is Canine Leishmaniosis? Canine leishmaniosis is a vector-borne disease primarily associated with Leishmania infantum, a protozoan parasite transmitted mainly through the bites of infected phlebotomine sand flies. Dogs are particularly important hosts for L. infantum, and infection may remain clinically silent for a period of time or develop into…

Bovine Pregnancy Testing: Essential Insights into PAG Detection

Knowing whether a bovine is pregnant is an important part of reproductive management. Pregnancy information can help veterinarians and livestock professionals make informed decisions regarding breeding programs, herd management, and follow-up examinations.

Among these pathogens, Streptococcus equi is especially important because it is associated with strangles, a highly contagious disease that can affect horse health, movement, management and biosecurity decisions. Therefore, reliable molecular testing helps veterinarians…
