Advantages
The Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM technology able a combined detection of FeLV soluble viral antigens, antibodies directed against the FIV and antibodies directed against feline coronavirus.
Quick and easy Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM can be performed in practice, in one step and in only 15 minutes.
Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM can be stored 24 months at rooms temperature, between 2°C and 30°C.
Why use Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM ?
The retroviruses (FeLV and FIV) and Feline Coronavirus infection (FCoV) are considered as being major causes of mortality in the cat.
Infections with the FeLV, FIV and Feline Coronavirus have strong clinical similarities, which make their differential diagnosis very difficult.
Retrovirosis and coronavirosis often remain asymptomatic after initial infection [5,8]
FeLV, FIV a FCoV infections are considered as the main causes of feline immune-suppression [4, 6, 7]
FelV, FIV and FCoV lead to alike, non-specific clinical signs [6] which make differential diagnosis confusing : anemia, anorexia, loss of weight, chronic respiratory or gastro-intestinal disease...
When use Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM ?
Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM is a rapid test to help vet-practitionners to narrow diagnosis in front of unspecific and suggestive symptoms of retrovirosis and/or coronavirosis and to select further clinical examinations.
In shelters or multicat household, the identification of the new cat’s status can prevent healthy cats exposure to the virus before introduction.
Speed FeLV/FIV/CoronaTM is recommended for the monitoring of cats which have regular contact with at-risk environment.
