trūRapid Parvovirus: rapid test for the detection of Parvovirus (CPV, FPV) antigens

The trūRapid Parvovirus is a rapid test for the detection of Parvovirus (CPV, FPV) antigens in dogs’ and cats’ feces.

The Parvo is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute gastroenteritis in young animals. Initial clinical signs may be nonspecific with progression to vomiting and hemorrhagic small-bowel diarrhea. All animals with relevant clinical signs should be immediately tested, so appropriate isolation procedures can be initiated. A negative result with the trūRapid Parvovirus antigen test does not completely rule out a parvovirus infection: fecal shedding of parvovirus antigen at detectable levels typically occurs between 3-12 days post-exposure and usually correlates with the onset of clinical signs. In puppies with moderate ma-ternal antibody levels, viral shedding may be delayed by 1-2 days relative to the onset of clinical signs. Virus shedding begins to reduce by day 8-10 (post-infection).
