AsurDx™ Equine disease (Dourine) Real-Time PCR Detection Kit
The AsurDxTM Equine disease (Dourine) Real-Time PCR detection kit is suitable for detecting Trypanosoma equiperdum DNA in cell viral fluid or tissue samples, peripheral blood, or nasal secretions from equines, and is used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for dourine. The results are for clinical reference only.
Feature
- Rapid: Results are obtained within 60 minutes.
- Ready to use: Simply mix the reagents, add to reaction plate, and add samples or controls. No need for extra processing minutes.
- Adaptable: Many kits are able to utilize a variety of tissues from live or dead animals, body fluids, blood, waste products, or even cell culture to obtain nucleic acid for analysis.
- Simple: Results are determined easily by Ct value.
- Flexible: Kits can be analyzed by ABI7500, Agilent MX3000P/3005P, LightCycler, Bio-Rad, Eppendorf, and other series of fluorescent quantitative PCR detection instruments.

About Disease
Dourine is a chronic, contact protozoal disease caused by Trypanosoma equiperdum, which parasitizes the genital organs of horses, leading to physiological disturbances, decreased production performance, and reproductive dysfunction in equines. Initially, the disease causes a slight increase in body temperature with no significant change in energy or appetite. As the disease progresses, it leads to intermittent fever, anemia, emaciation, lethargy, and decreased appetite. Eventually, paralysis of the hindquarters may occur, leading to the inability to stand and, in extreme cases, death due to severe exhaustion.
