PCR Screen: Avian Pathogen
FromEurofins
PCR test screen for detecting Avian Pathogen includes analysis for three important avian pathogens communicable to humans: Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Chlamydophila psittaci. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is employed to detect the DNA of the three pathogens. H. capsulatum analysis is qualitative and results will be reported as Detected or Not Detected. C. neoformans and C. psittaci results are quantitative and a standard curve is utilized to determine quantities present.
