(CDV) Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit
What is Canine Distemper?
Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) is a viral disease that infects the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and central nervous systems. Dogs who have not been vaccinated for Canine Distemper are the most at-risk. While the disease can also be contracted when improperly vaccinated or when a dog has high susceptibility to bacterial infection, these cases are rare.
What are the symptoms of Canine Distemper ?
The general symptoms of distemper are high fever, eye inflammation and eye/nose discharge, labored breathing and coughing, vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite and lethargy, and hardening of the nose and footpads. The viral infection can be accompanied by secondary bacterial infections and can eventually present serious neurological symptoms.
How do dogs contract the infection?
CDV can be spread through direct contact (licking, breathing air, etc.) or indirect contact (bedding, toys, food bowls, etc.), though it cannot live on surfaces for very long. Inhaling the virus is the primary method of exposure.

-Products Manual
The Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of canine Distemper virus antigen ( CDV Ag) in secretions from dog’s eyes, nasal cavities, or anus.
[Usage]
Read the IFU completely before testing, allow the test device and specimens to equilibrate to room temperature(15～25℃) prior to testing.
Method :
1. Samples were gently collected from the conjunctiva, nasal cavity, or oral cavity of the animal using a cotton swab. Immediately insert the cotton swab into the sample tube containing the buffer and mix the solutions so that the specimen dissolves in as much solution as possible. Given the uncertainty regarding the site of detoxification in animals, it is recommended that samples be collected from multiple sites during clinical testing and mixed in sample dilutions to avoid detection leakage.
2. Take a piece of CDV test card pocket and open, take out the test kit, and place it horizontally on the operating plane.
3. Suck the sample solution to be tested into the sample well S and add 3-4 drops (approximately 100μL).
4. Observe the result within 5-10 minutes, and the result is invalid after 15 minutes.
[Result judgment]
-Positive (+): The presence of both “C” line and zone “T” line, no matter T line is clear or vague.
-Negative (-): Only clear C line appear. No T line.
1. Please use the test card within the guarantee period and within one hour after opening:
2. When testing to avoid direct sunlight and electric fan blowing;
3. Try not to touch the white film surface in the center of the detection card;
4. Sample dropper cannot be mixed, so as to avoid cross contamination;
5. Do not use sample diluent that is not supplied with this reagent;
6. After the use of detection card should be regarded as microbial dangerous goods processing;
