Anigen Rapid TGE/PED Ag Test Kit

Anigen Rapid TGE/PED Ag Test Kit is a solid phase chromatographic immunoassay for the simultaneous qualitative detection of Transmissible Gastroenteritis (TGE) virus antigen and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea (PED) Virus antigen in porcine diarrhoea faeces.

TGE and PED have a similar pathogenesis. The TGE and PED virus are excreted in faeces. An acute outbreak of PED resembles the TGE outbreak. Clinical differentiation between TGE and PED is very difficult. However, as compared with TGE, the incubation period is longer (3-4 days), not all the litters of suckling pigs may become sick, and mortality in neonatal pigs is lower (average 50%).
TGE in its typical epidemic form causes a rapidly spreading diarrhoea in animals of all ages with high mortality in neonates. With PED, the diarrhoea spreads at a slower rate, and although diarrhoea is seen in most of the litters, some litters may remain healthy even in the absence of immunity. Morbidity is 100% in older pigs. The Anigen Rapid TGE/PED Ag test kit detects viral antigens in faeces or intestinal contents and easily differentiates between the PEDV and TGEV in pigs of all ages.
