Two studies focused on monitoring
vector-borne diseases in anemic dogs arriving in or returning to Poland from
endemic regions, comparing results obtained using Vcheck M Canine Vector 8
(CV8) with those from real-time or conventional PCR.
According to the first study, molecular
tests identified vector-borne pathogens in 79 dogs. All positive results from
Vcheck M CV8 were validated by standard real-time PCR with no false positives
detected. Therefore, the Vcheck M CV8 provides
comparable results to real-time PCR. Its capability
for onsite testing is crucial for promptly detecting infections and initiating
timely therapy, thereby reducing the time needed for laboratory confirmation.
The second study aimed to detect Hepatozoon
canis from dogs suspected of tick-borne diseases, shedding light on
prevalence and clinical implications in Poland. Despite sporadic H. canis
cases and infrequent R. sanguineus ticks, the study highlighted the
necessity of considering H. canis in diagnosing vector-borne diseases,
especially in anemic dogs in Poland. The study underscored the importance of
comprehensive screening, such as with Vcheck M CV8, in identifying diverse
threats, particularly amid increased travel and climate change which may
introduce novel pathogens.
The Vcheck M CV8 Panel is point-of-care(POC) molecular diagnostic
cartridge designed for simultaneous detection of Canine Vector-borne Disease 8
pathogens: Leishmania
spp.,
Babesia spp., Mycoplasma haemocanis, Hepatozoon spp., Ehrlichia
spp., Anaplasma spp., Rickettsia rickettsii, and Bartonella
spp. in canine whole blood. Learn more
