Parvovirus (dog) - PCR (quantitative)

LABOKLIN Service ID: 8084

Material

faeces

Method

realtime PCR

Duration

1 - 3 days

Remark

  • If vaccination was carried out using a vaccine with field strains or if the vaccine or vaccination status is unknown and vaccination was carried out shortly (less than 4 weeks) before the onset of the symptoms, quantitative PCR is recommended and can be requested following qualitative PCR.
  • A very high pathogen load indicates an acute infection.
  • If the infection has subsided, it is not possible to differentiate between the field strain and the vaccine strain even by qPCR; in both cases, only a low pathogen load is detectable.
