DIROFILARIA IMMITIS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Dirofilaria immitis

Dirofilaria immitis, also known as heartworm disease, is a parasitic infection transmitted by mosquitoes that affects both humans and animals, particularly dogs. If left undetected, it can lead to severe cardiac and respiratory complications, and potentially be fatal. Early detection is crucial to prevent the spread of the disease within populations and to ensure prompt treatment to avoid long-term health effects.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Dirofilaria immitis allows for rapid and accurate identification of the parasite in samples, enabling early intervention and treatment. By detecting the presence of the pathogen early on, the risk of serious health complications and mortality in affected individuals or animals can be minimized, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in managing this disease.
