Feature
- Detects antibodies against EHDV VP7 protein in deer, cattle, buffalo, goat or sheep serum and plasma;
- Allows specially detect all EHDV serotypes as early as 7-15 days post-infection, but does not detect antibodies against BTV
- Procedures last less than 90 minutes and do not need sample pre-dilution step;
- Provides a simple, rapid, sensitive and cost-effective enzyme-based immunoassay (ELISA) screening method

About Disease
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a hemorrhagic disease of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) caused by an infection of EHDV from the genus Orbivirus. It is an infectious, and sometimes fatal, virus that is characterized by extensive hemorrhages, and is found throughout the United States. Large-scale outbreaks in wild ruminants affect livestock and the production industry. EHD has been found in some domestic ruminants and many species of deer including white-tailed deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. Outbreaks of EHD have been reported in cattle and sheep. Bluetongue virus is closely related to EHDV, and has similar clinical signs, but it is a different disease. Bluetongue is a serious disease in cattle, as well as other ruminants, and can have a significant effect on international trade. Testing at animal health laboratories is necessary to distinguish between the viruses that cause bluetongue and EHD.
