Outstanding performance verification of Vcheck M Canine Vector 8 panel (SCIE journal)

  The outstanding performance of Vcheck M Canine Vector 8 panel (BIONOTE) and the necessity of testing for eight pathogens simultaneously have been published in two international journals, "Journal of Veterinary Research" and the "Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences" (Science Citation Index Expanded)    Paper: J Vet Res 68, 2024 & Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences Vol. 27, No. 2 (2024), 165–   See the attached documents for the summary and click here for the full paper of J Vet Res 68, 2024 and Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences Vol. 27, No. 2 (2024), 165– (open access).   Two studies focused on monitoring vector-borne diseases in anemic dogs arriving in or returning to Poland from endemic regions, comparing results obtained using Vcheck M Canine Vector 8 (CV8) with those from real-time or conventional PCR.   According to the first study, molecular tests identified vector-borne pathogens in 79 dogs. All positive results from Vcheck M CV8 were validated by standard real-time PCR with no false positives detected. Therefore, the Vcheck M CV8 provides comparable results to real-time PCR. Its capability for onsite testing is crucial for promptly detecting infections and initiating timely therapy, thereby reducing the time needed for laboratory confirmation.  The second study aimed to detect Hepatozoon canis from dogs suspected of tick-borne diseases, shedding light on prevalence and clinical implications in Poland. Despite sporadic H. canis cases and infrequent R. sanguineus ticks, the study highlighted the necessity of considering H. canis in diagnosing vector-borne diseases, especially in anemic dogs in Poland. The study underscored the importance of comprehensive screening, such as with Vcheck M CV8, in identifying diverse threats, particularly amid increased travel and climate change which may introduce novel pathogens.   The Vcheck M CV8 Panel is point-of-care(POC) molecular diagnostic cartridge designed for simultaneous detection of Canine Vector-borne Disease 8 pathogens: Leishmania spp., Babesia spp., Mycoplasma haemocanis, Hepatozoon spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Rickettsia rickettsii, and Bartonella spp. in canine whole blood.

BIONOTE launches new cartridges for the detection of diarrhea-causing pathogens.

For more information about the products, please visit the following page:*Vcheck M Canine Diarrhea 8 Panel*Vcheck M Feline Diarrhea 8 PanelBionote, a global-leading company in biocontents and animal diagnostics, announced that 'Vcheck M Canine Diarrhea 8 Panel/Feline Diarrhea 8 Panel', a diagnostic cartridge product for 8 diarrhea-causing diseases in dogs and cats has received a certificate of free sales.  Vcheck M10 is an automatic analyzer that can perform both nucleic acid extraction and PCR, which previously needed to be performed separately using two different machines. The test procedure is simple enough for any veterinarian to perform on-site at the animal hospitals without separate prior training.PCR tests, normally performed by a laboratory, take about 1 to 3 days. It can be performed quickly and accurately on-site for around an hour through the cartridges, and M10 analyzer which can also be expanded to 8 channels. Customers can optimize use according to size, from labs to small and large hospitals. A BIONOTE Spokesperson commented, “The global veterinary molecular diagnostic market size is currently approximately 3 billion dollars and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 10% in the future. PCR testing using POCT molecular diagnostic equipment for animals is also expected to further expand.” “By obtaining this certificate of free sales, we will accelerate our effort to expand overseas markets,” he said. Meanwhile, BIONOTE recently launched the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)/ Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) test cartridge and continuously exported it overseas in earnest. BIONOTE is currently developing various test panels such as respiratory, anemia-causing pathogens and panels for livestock animals.

USDA Approves Bionote’s Canine Heartworm Test Kit – Q2 2024

  ▶The global company Bionote, specializing in bio-content and animal diagnostics, announced on the 13th of May that its product, the 'Rapid CHW Ag 2.0' antigen diagnostic kit for canine heartworm, has obtained approval for sale from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).   Consequently, the product can be sold and distributed within the United States through Bionote's U.S. subsidiary, Bionote USA. Canine heartworm disease, transmitted primarily by mosquitoes, is a representative parasitic infectious disease in dogs. Heartworms, which primarily parasitize the pulmonary arteries, can lead to severe cardiovascular diseases and, in severe cases, death. It takes 6 to 7 months for the microfilariae transmitted by mosquitoes to grow into adult worms inside the dog's body. Clinical symptoms often do not immediately appear, which can lead to delayed diagnosis. Therefore, the American Heartworm Society (AHS) recommends monthly heartworm prevention and testing for heartworm infection at least once a year. Bionote's Canine Heartworm Antigen diagnostic kit can detect even a very small number of female worms (1 to 5 worms) and provides test results within 10 minutes. The newly approved 'Rapid CHW Ag 2.0' product is an upgraded version with a more compact design, making it even more suitable for on-site testing compared to the previously sold 'Rapid CHW Ag 1.0'. A Bionote representative stated, "According to research conducted at the University of Florida, the product has demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of over 100% compared to the gold standard test, proving its high accuracy." They further stated, "The United States is a large market that accounts for over 40% of the global animal diagnostic testing market. We will continue to expand our presence in the U.S. market through further USDA product registrations, maximizing the sales force of our U.S. subsidiary, and collaborating with partners.
