Abstract:
Innovative diagnostic technology use for early detection of animal pathogens is critical in limiting the economic losses caused by new infectious animal illnesses. Several diagnostic applications are easy to use, cost-effective, highly sensitive, and specific diagnostic procedures with high-throughput detection capabilities are desirable attributes. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remain the most widely used methods for detecting animal diseases around the world. Several serological and molecular technologies, such as lateral flow assays, biosensors, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, and molecular platforms for field-level detection of animal pathogens, have been developed using the principles of ELISA and PCR to achieve higher sensitivity, rapid, detection of animal diseases.
