Faecal Dx antigen testing

For early, accurate detection of the most common, clinically relevant intestinal parasites—even before eggs are present.1–3

Bad news for parasites.

Parasites are an ongoing hazard to the health of both pets and sometimes their human family members. Pets can be at risk simply by being outside. Some parasites can burrow into a pet’s feet or skin. Pets can also swallow parasites while grooming, nursing or eating contaminated soil or faeces. Regular faecal testing can help detect parasites sooner, which means earlier treatment and better outcomes.

Now available: taeniid tapeworm detection.

The addition of the new taeniid tapeworm antigen accurately detects the presence of Taenia crassiceps, Taenia pisiformis, Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. This enables you to develop targeted treatment and prevention plans to set you up for success.

The future of parasites is they have no future.

It’s true. Faecal antigen testing is the future of parasite screening as we know it, catching up to 2x more infections. And now, after a retrospective study of nearly 900,000 cases that compared faecal antigen testing to flotation, we have the data to prove it.5


Detect up to 2x more infections earlier than fecal flotation.5†
