Description 

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a member of the group of coronaviruses that cause watery diarrhea, dehydration and high mortality in suckling piglets. The PEDV is transmitted by feces of infected pigs after oral ingestion.

Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) is a viral disease of the small intestine that causes vomiting and diarrhea in pigs of all ages. The infection spreads rapidly by aerosol or contact exposure. Rotavirus is the most common viral causative agent of diarrhea in pigs, cattle, and dogs. Cluster Rotavirus A and B are involved, with group A being the most prevalent and clinically important, contain several serotypes of different virulence. All ages are susceptible.

ELISA and RT-PCR assays to detect viral antigens in feces or intestinal contents are useful, but require specialized instruments and laboratory personnel. The Anigen Rapid PED/TGE/Rota Ag test kit has been developed to provide rapid and reliable PED/TGE/Rotavirus test results antigen under field conditions.
