Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen responsible for severe outbreaks of 'dog flu' in socialized dog populations. The Tashikin CIV Ag Rapid Test is an indispensable tool for veterinarians, shelters, and kennel operators. It detects viral antigen shed during the acute phase of infection, providing a rapid diagnosis that is essential for initiating quarantine procedures, advising clients, and managing the health of the entire population.
Your Path to Effective Outbreak Management:
Test at First Sign
Ideal for any dog presenting with a sudden onset of coughing, sneezing, and fever, especially with a history of recent social contact.
Confirm the Cause
Quickly confirm that CIV is the causative agent in a respiratory outbreak, allowing you to implement specific control measures.
Isolate and Protect
A positive result provides the certainty needed to immediately isolate infected dogs and enact biosecurity protocols to prevent further spread.
