Dear Colleagues
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new competitive ELISA for the detection of bovine Besnoitiosis, the ID Screen® Besnoitia Competition (Product code: BSNTC)
ID Screen® Besnoitia Competition enables the detection of IgG & IgM directed toward Besnoitia besnoiti in bovine serum/plasma (individual and pools of 10).
This kit can be used for population screening and to test animals prior to their introduction into the herd.
Performance and advantages of Kit
Reliable and early Besnoitiosis detection:
- Excellent discrimination between positive and negative populations
- Excellent agreement (kappa=0,993) between protocols for individual and pooled samples
- High positive predictive value for maximum confidence in positive results
- Validated by the French Reference Laboratory for Besnoitiosis (ANSES) for both individual samples and pools of 10.
- Early detection (IgG & IgM) : from 5 to 10 days post infestation
- No cross-reactions with Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum
Convenient and easy-to-use:
- Protocols for individual samples and pools of 10
- Low volume of serum required for testing: the same sample may be tested for Besnoitia and for other diseases
- Ready to use reagents
