The Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of canine Distemper virus antigen (CDV Ag) in secretions from dog's eyes, nasal cavities, and anus or in serum, plasma specimen. 


Assay Time: 5-10 minutes

Canine distemper is a worldwide highly contagious disease caused by canine distemper virus (CDV), which can affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system of puppies, dogs and other carnivores. Young puppies between 3 and 6  months old and nonimmunized older are more susceptible to infection and disease  than immunized adults. Infected dogs shed the virus through bodily secretions and excretions, especially respiratory secretions. The first symptom of distemper is eye discharge that appear watery to pus-like. Subsequently, dogs develop fever, nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, reduced appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. In later stages, the virus may attack the nervous system, bringing about seizures, twithing, or partial or complete paralysis. Occasionally, the virus may cause footpads to harden. Distemper is often fatal so that it should be diagnosed at the early stages.
