ELISA TEST Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) serotype 13 Swinecheck

This is an immunoenzymatic assay for the detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) serotype 13 in porcine serum.

DESCRIPTION:
This is an immunoenzymatic assay for the detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 13 in porcine serum.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:
Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by APP is an important porcine disease that can result in considerable economic losses. A remarkable feature of APP is that its virulence greatly varies depending on the isolates. This results in clinical situations varying from subclinical infections to acute disease resulting in severe respiratory distress with high lethality. Interestingly the virulence of isolates correlates quite well with the serovars in a given geographical location (18 serotypes have been identified so far). During the recent years the serotype 13 is became more important in several countries.

CHARACTERISTICS:
- Indirect ELISA: Antigens of APP13
- Rapid (Less than 2 hours)
- Tests per kit: 184 samples
