Aerobic Culture

Identification of bacterial pathogens requiring an aerobic environment by culture. Specimens received from 4-5pm Monday- Friday and before noon on Saturdays can be set up same day with STAT Fee.

Abortion Screen - Porcine

Routinely performed set of tests to detect infectious agents that cause abortions. Bacteriology performs Aerobic culture of Stomach Content, Placenta and pooled fetal organ tissue. Molecular Diagnostics performs PRRS & PCV2 PCR tests on fresh unfixed fetal/placental tissue at the discretion of pathologist. Virology performs Parvovirus FA on Lung and Liver. Histological evaluation of submitted or collected tissues using H&E sections and other histology staining as necessary.

Abortion Screen - Ovine/Caprine

Routinely performed set of tests to detect infectious agents that cause abortions. Bacteriology performs aerobic cultures of stomach content, placenta, and pooled fetal organ tissue. Molecular Diagnostics performs BVDV PCR test on fresh unfixed fetal/placental tissues at the discretion of pathologist. Histological evaluation of submitted or collected tissues using H&E sections and other histology staining as necessary. Serology performs fetal IgG level analysis (Ovine only).

Abortion Screen - Feline

Routinely performed set of tests to detect infectious agents that cause abortions. Bacteriology performs Aerobic culture of Stomach Content, Placenta and pooled fetal organ tissue. Histological evaluation of submitted or collected tissues using H&E sections and other histology staining as necessary. Maternal serum may also be submitted and tested for the following analytes, with additional fees: Leptospirosis MAT: 6 serovars; Toxoplasma IgG ELISA. Current fees for maternal serum tests are available on the OVDL website.

Abortion Screen - Equine
