Description | This assay differentiates select Campylobacter fetus subspecies from culture submissions by targeting DNA fragments of the nahE gene from C. fetus and a portion of the ISCfe-1 gene from the bacterium C. fetus subsp. venerealis, the agent of bovine genital campylobacteriosis (vibrio). Note: If submitting a preputial washing for both Tritrichomonas and C. venerealis testing, samples cannot be pooled for either test as there is not enough processed specimen for individual testing if positive. |
Species | Bovine | Other |
Shipping Requirements | Send on cold pack/ice in sterile leak-proof container within 24 hours. To ensure inclusion in the test run, samples should arrive the day prior to test day. |
