EQUINE DERMATOPHYTOSIS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Equine dermatophytosis

Equine dermatophytosis, commonly known as ringworm, is a fungal skin infection that affects horses. The causative agents are usually dermatophyte fungi such as Trichophyton equinum and Microsporum canis. This target is important to detect in the veterinary sector as it can spread easily among horses and to humans, causing skin lesions and hair loss. Early detection is key to prevent the spread of infection and minimize the economic impact on the equine industry.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect equine dermatophytosis allows for sensitive and specific detection of fungal pathogens in horses. Early detection using this kit can help prevent the spread of infection, reduce treatment costs, and minimize the risk of zoonotic transmission to humans. By providing a quick and reliable diagnostic tool, YouSeq's qPCR product can significantly impact the health and well-being of horses and the equine industry as a whole.
