The Hi-PCR® Theileria Semi-Q PCR Kit is a qualitative conventional PCR kit which results in amplification of Theileria specific gene using specific primers. Conventional PCR testing can provide rapid, sensitive and specific detection of Theileria.
Theileriosis is a disease caused by a species of Theileria a blood?borne parasite that mainly affects cattle and is primarily transmitted by ticks. It is a disease of mammals and birds caused by a protozoal pathogen which resides within the lymphocytes and macrophages. It causes anaemia in cattle and can sometimes be fatal. Cows during calving and young calves (2?3 months) are at most risk from this infection. Cattle are at risk of infection when moved to areas where infected ticks are present.The Hi-PCR® Theileria Semi-Q PCR Kit is a qualitative conventional PCR kit which results in amplification of Theileria specific gene using specific primers.
