Health monitoring services - Parasitology test panels

Parasitology is performed by direct microscopic examination, serology and rtPCR. The area around the ears are evaluated for mites and lice, and the small intestinal and cecal contents are evaluated for pathogenic and non-pathogenic helminths and protozoa. Serology is used to screen E. cuniculi. NSP test samples can be shipped to our laboratories to include swabs, faeces for use in rtPCR techniques. A special pinworm profile is available for rapid rtPCR testing.
