Using a swab sample collected from the eye, nose or mouth, the test checks for canine influenza virus antigen and provides a clear result in 10 minutes. No blood sample is required, with tests available for wholesale supply from a minimum order of 20 tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Canine Influenza?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanine influenza (CIV), sometimes referred to as canine flu, is a contagious respiratory infection that affects dogs. Infection commonly causes a persistent cough and may also cause sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, fever, lethargy and reduced appetite. Most infections are mild, although some dogs can develop more serious respiratory illness, including pneumonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe virus can spread between dogs through respiratory droplets and secretions, as well as through contaminated objects and surfaces. Dogs in close-contact environments such as kennels, shelters, daycare facilities and dog parks can be at greater risk of exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapid screening can provide useful initial information when respiratory signs appear or canine influenza exposure is suspected, supporting a more informed decision about what to do next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information about canine influenza, including common signs and how it can spread, read our \u003cstrong\u003eCanine Influenza guide in the Test Library\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for dogs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUses an eye, nose or mouth secretion swab\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo blood sample required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults ready in 10 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum order: 20 tests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree UK delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s included?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividually sealed test devices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSample collection swabs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffer tubes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorkstation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical performance and manufacturing quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClinical performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClinical performance was evaluated using 250 samples, with results compared against PCR reference testing, an established molecular laboratory method used to detect canine influenza virus genetic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the clinical evaluation detailed in the supplied instructions, the test demonstrated:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95.00% sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97.33% specificity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitivity describes the test’s ability to identify positive samples, while specificity describes its ability to identify negative samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturing quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in a specialist diagnostic facility operating under ISO 13485, production includes controlled manufacturing processes, in-process inspections and batch-level quality checks before release.
