The IDEXX APP-ApxIV Ab Test is an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the causative pathogen for swine pleuropneumonia, in serum and plasma of swine independently of the APP serotype. It is possible to differentiate vaccinated (negative test result) from infected animals (positive test result).
- Based on toxin ApxIV
- Able to detect all serotypes because of the common and specific toxin ApxIV
- No cross-reactivity with other bacteria
- Excellent tool to detect the MDA level looking for the correct vaccination scheme
- DIVA system for differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals
- Ready-to-use reagents
- Easy data management when used with xChek® software
- Specific for screening
