Anigen Rapid NDV Ag Test Kit

Anigen Rapid NDV Ag Test Kit is a solid phase chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Newcastle Disease virus antigen in avian cloaca or trachea swabs.

Newcastle Disease (ND) is characterized by sneezing, coughing, and nervous behaviour. Affected birds may show tremors, circling, falling, twisting of the head and neck, or complete paralysis. Mortality reaches 90% in very young birds but adult mortality is very low. Among affected laying hens, egg quantity and quality drop sharply at first but usually return to former levels within four to eight weeks. ND can cause death even in vaccinated poultry and is characterised by it’s sudden appearance and rapid spread to nearby flocks.
Diagnosis is usually made by virus isolation, serology and clinical signs. The hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test is used widely in ND virus serology, with cross-reactions in HI tests between ND virus and some of the other paramyxoviruses being reported. The newly developed Anigen Rapid NDV Ag test kit is highly specific to NDV.
