Rabies Antibody Rapid Test

Rabies

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is nearly always death. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months but can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time depends on the distance the virus must travel along peripheral nerves to reach the central nervous system.

INTENDED USE

Rabies is a vital disease to both animal and human beings. Dog or cat could be a carrier without any clinical symptom. Vaccination could be apparently decrease the ratio of carrier and infection of rabies virus. But even after vaccination, there is still about 15% of total cases which could not generate protective antibodies. It is suggested to detect the Rabies antibodies for dogs after 45days vaccination.

The Rabies Antibody Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of rabies virus antibody (Rabies Ab) above the level 0.5IU/mL in dog’s serum or plasma. 

Assay Time:  10-15 minutes
