Coronavirus in Ferretbundle ( Enteric + Systemic )
The test detects two variants:
Ferret enteric coronavirus can cause epizootic catarrhal enteritis (ECE) in ferrets with
mucoid, greenish, malodorous diarrhoea, especially in adult animals. It is shed in saliva
and faeces.
Ferret systemic coronavirus can cause a disease similar to FIP, which mainly affects
ferrets under 18 months of age. Signs may be non-specific (including diarrhoea, weight
loss, lethargy, hyporexia/anorexia, vomiting). In some cases, neurological signs, such as
paresis, ataxia, tremor or seizures, can be observed.
Speciation
Differentiation between enteric and systemic coronaviruses is performed automatically.
