Feline herpesvirus antigen (FHV Ag) Test Kit

The feline herpesvirus is one of the main pathogens causing upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in cats. This virus is mainly transmitted through respiratory secretions and infects the eyes, nose and throat of cats, resulting in symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, conjunctivitis, and eye discharge.

Clinical application:

· Disease Diagnosis:

The feline herpesvirus can cause viral rhinotracheitis in cats, which is a highly contagious upper respiratory tract infection disease. Clinical symptoms may include fever, depression, anorexia, serous or serosanguineous eye and nasal discharges, conjunctival congestion, sneezing, and occasionally salivation and coughing. The FHV Ag test can help veterinarians quickly determine whether a cat is infected with this virus, especially for cats with the above-related symptoms, which is conducive to early diagnosis and timely treatment.

· Monitoring and Prevention and Control:

In multi-cat environments, such as catteries or rescue stations, regular FHV Ag tests are helpful for monitoring the prevalence of the virus, so that corresponding prevention and control measures can be taken, such as isolating infected cats and strengthening environmental disinfection, to prevent the virus from spreading to other healthy cats.

· Treatment Evaluation:

During the treatment process, multiple tests can be conducted to understand the clearance of the virus and assist in judging the development of the disease and the treatment effect.
