Canine VacciCheck Discussed at the North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC) in the USA

ORLANDO, Florida, January 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Canine VacciCheck was discussed during a panel discussion in a vaccination symposium at the NAVC.

During this panel discussion, a question was raised as to the options available regarding checking for titers for the core vaccines of Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Distemper.

Professor Ronald Schultz from the University of Wisconsin mentioned the Canine VacciCheck as a novel "in house" option for titer checking. Professor Schultz described the VacciCheck as being a cost effective, user friendly and expedient titer test for Hepatitis (Canine Adenovirus), Parvovirus and Distemper to determine whether there is a need to revaccinate dogs and therefore avoid potential adverse events. Professor Schultz also discussed the potential use of the VacciCheck as part of the puppy confirmation protocol.

About the Canine VacciCheck:

The Canine VacciCheck was recently approved by the USDA in the USA.

The Canine VacciCheck kit is intended to be used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the antibody response to the core vaccination or infection by Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Canine Adenovirus), Canine Parvovirus and Distemper Virus.

This test is especially useful to determine if a dog requires additional vaccination, and may save the dog unnecessary vaccination. It is can also help determine the vaccination status of a dog with unknown vaccination history or help determine if puppies have received immunity from vaccination.

What is unique about Biogal's ImmunoComb(R) Canine VacciCheck is that it gives the veterinarian the opportunity of being able to quantitatively check for all the 3 core vaccines. This is all done in one test as a follow up to vaccination, in the vet's clinic or the veterinary lab, with an answer received within 20 minutes.
