ECTHYMA CONTAGIOSUM

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Ecthyma contagiosum

Ecthyma contagiosum, also known as Orf virus infection, is a zoonotic disease affecting animals and humans. It is characterized by painful sores on the skin in areas of contact with infected animals. Early detection of this target is crucial to prevent transmission to humans and for timely treatment of affected animals in the veterinary sector.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Ecthyma contagiosum allows for rapid and accurate identification of the virus, enabling early intervention to prevent further spread and potential outbreaks. This can help mitigate the health risks to both animals and humans, as well as minimize economic losses in the agricultural sector.
