The SNAP® 4Dx® Plus Test is an in vitro test for the detection of antigen to Dirofilaria immitis, antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia canis, and Ehrlichia ewingii in canine serum, plasma, or anticoagulated whole blood.

The SNAP® 4Dx® Plus Test uses highly purified reagents on the ELISA platform. The SNAP® Test's peptide-based technology allows for the evaluation of only highly specific antibodies for Anaplasma spp., Lyme disease, and Ehrlichia spp., which helps to eliminate false positives.

NOTE – SNAP Test registration fee and programme registration fee of the Institute is non-refundable and non-transferable.
These bacteria are spread to people primarily through the bite of infected ticks including the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) and the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). People with ehrlichiosis will often have fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and sometimes upset stomach.
Signs of heartworm disease may include a mild persistent cough, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after moderate activity, decreased appetite, and weight loss. As heartworm disease progresses, pets may develop heart failure and the appearance of a swollen belly due to excess fluid in the abdomen.
They are the fastest and most convenient way to test for heartworms, but no test is perfect. False positives and false negatives are possible. That is why positive tests are always confirmed with another method of testing. Usually, a positive antigen test is confirmed with presence of microfilaria in the blood.
More accurately identify Lyme disease in clinically and subclinically infected dogs with proven C6 ELISA technology. The SNAP 4Dx Plus Test identifies antibodies that are produced only as a result of a Borrelia burgdorferi infection.
See a health care provider if you get sick. Anaplasmosis is curable but it can be a serious and sometimes fatal disease. Symptoms of anaplasmosis usually begin five to 21 days after a tick bite and can include: Fever.
Dogs can display several forms of Lyme disease, but the most common symptoms are lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite. In addition, serious kidney complications have been associated with Lyme disease in dogs.
The SNAP® Heartworm RT Test is an in vitro test for the detection of Dirofilaria immitis antigen in canine serum, plasma, or anticoagulated whole blood. What does a SNAP Heartworm RT positive test result indicate? Any color development in the sample spots indicates the presence of heartworm antigen.
Most dogs receive an initial injection, followed by a 30-day period of rest, and then two more injections that are given 24 hours apart. Many dogs will also be treated with an antibiotic (doxycycline), to combat potential infection with bacteria (Wolbachia) that inhabit the heartworm.
The new SNAP® cPLâ„¢ (canine pancreas-specific lipase) Test is an ELISA assay that has a 95% correlation to the reference test method. The SNAP® cPLâ„¢ Test can be used pet-side with confidence when working up dogs presenting with vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, or other clinical signs of pancreatitis.
Dogs Get Heartworms from Mosquito BitesAfter an infected mosquito bites a dog, the larvae develop into adult heartworms in about six to seven months. They live in the dog's heart, mate, and produce offspring called microfilariae that live in the dog's blood vessels.
ProHeart 12 is the only FDA-approved product that prevents heartworm disease in dogs for 1 full year with just 1 shot given by your vet. At the time of the shot, ProHeart 12 also treats hookworms. * ProHeart 12 is for use in healthy dogs 12 months of age and older.
Although people of any age can get anaplasmosis, it tends to be most severe in the aging or immune-compromised. Severe complications can include respiratory failure, renal failure and secondary infections.
How to Check Your Dog for Ticks
- Give them a once-over before you go inside, or just inside the door, to lower the chance that a tick will get into your home.
- Comb through their fur with your fingers. Press gently so you can feel any bumps on the skin.
- If you find a bump, part your dog's fur so you can see their skin.
The SNAP® Feline Triple® Test screens cats for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibody, feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen, and feline heartworm (FHW) antigen. This three-in-one test for feline infectious diseases introduces an enhanced tool to promote feline health care.
Heartworm disease isn't as common in Vermont, but that being said, I am currently treating a few. As the climate of Vermont changes and we bring up more Southern dogs, heartworm becomes more and more prevalent. What are heartworms? The easy answer is that they are worms living in a pet's heart.
In the case of the FeLV SNAP test, false negatives are uncommon (but possible), while false positives are not uncommon, especially when prevalence is low. One challenge with retroviral testing in a shelter setting is that it can take up to 30 days after exposure to FeLV for a cat to test positive on a SNAP test.
SNAP FeLV Antigen test is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen in feline serum, plasma or whole blood.
Inside the tough plastic shell of every IDEXX SNAP device is a sophisticated scientific test called an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Tests based on the ELISA method are essential tools in human and veterinary medicine.
Be on the Ball, Test for it All!All that it requires is 3 drops of blood to run it (the same amount as a regular heartworm test), and you have the results in 8 minutes.
By definition, ELISAs are immunoassays used to detect a substance (typically an antigen or antibody) in which an enzyme is attached (conjugated) to one of the reactants and an enzymatic reaction is used to amplify the signal if the substance is present.
Tests, including the IDEXX SNAP FIV/FeLV Combo Test, are not 100% accurate. It can take 30 days or more after initial exposure for infected cats to test positive for FeLV and up to 60 days for cats infected with FIV.
If you test 1000 cats you will see that 17 out of the 47 cats that test positive do not actually have FeLV. That means that over 36% of positive results are actually false positives. In areas with a prevalence lower than 3% the number of false positives increases.
