Pcr Testing
A molecular diagnostic method that amplifies and detects specific DNA sequences to confirm the presence of infectious agents.
Key Facts
- PCR testing identifies Cytauxzoon felis DNA to provide definitive confirmation of infection.
- It is highly sensitive and can detect the parasite even when blood smears are negative.
- The test is particularly useful during the early tissue phase before piroplasms appear in circulation.
- Results help differentiate cytauxzoonosis from other diseases with similar clinical presentations.
