Canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV) is a highly contagious respiratory virus that primarily affects dogs. Here are the main causes of CPIV:
- Direct Contact: Dogs can contract the virus through direct contact with an infected dog.
- Aerosols: The virus spreads through droplets in the air from coughs and sneezes.
- Body Secretions: Sharing contaminated items like food and water bowls, bedding, and toys can also spread the virus.
- Crowded Environments: Places where dogs are in close contact, such as kennels, dog parks, and shelters, are common areas for outbreaks.
CPIV is one of the pathogens responsible for kennel cough (canine infectious respiratory disease complex), and it can exacerbate other respiratory conditions in dogs.
Ringbio’s Canine Parainfluenza Virus CPIV Ag Rapid Test Kit is based on immunochromatographic assay to detect CPIV Ag in canine respiratory tract secretion. It can get results in 10min and ready to use kits for petowners and vetclinics, which is rapid, accurate and easy-to-operate.
