Psittacid alphaherpesvirus (PsHV) Nucleic Acid Test Kit (Lyophilized)

Psittacine Herpesvirus is a double - stranded DNA virus that poses a serious threat to parrots and belongs to the family Herpesviridae. This virus mainly infects birds of the Psittacidae family. It has diverse transmission routes and can spread through direct contact, airborne transmission, vertical transmission, etc. Infected parrots will exhibit a series of symptoms, such as respiratory symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing; digestive system symptoms including loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea; nervous system symptoms such as head tilting and convulsions; as well as eye symptoms like redness, swelling, tearing, and increased secretions. In severe cases, it can be life - threatening.

Clinical Application:

· Early and Precise Identification:
In the early stages of virus infection in parrots, the symptoms often remain latent or are similar to common diseases. Nucleic acid detection reagents, with their high sensitivity, can precisely detect trace amounts of viral nucleic acid in the parrot's body at the very early stage of virus infection, quickly confirming the infection status and seizing the opportunity for timely treatment. This changes the previous situation where misdiagnosis was likely to occur when relying solely on experience.

· Precise Etiological Determination:
When parrots experience discomfort in the respiratory, digestive, or nervous systems, such as coughing, diarrhea, or convulsions, nucleic acid detection can accurately distinguish whether it is caused by the Psittacine Herpesvirus or other pathogens like bacteria and fungi. This helps veterinarians to "prescribe the right medicine" and formulate exclusive treatment strategies.

· Front - line Sentinel for Epidemic Prevention and Control:
In the large - scale parrot breeding scenarios, regularly using nucleic acid detection reagents to sample and test the bird population is like deploying "scouts" in the breeding area. It can detect "asymptomatic infected individuals" carrying the virus and infectious individuals in the early stages of transmission in a timely manner, and promptly initiate emergency measures such as isolation and comprehensive disinfection, cutting off the virus transmission chain and nipping the epidemic in the bud.
