The bacterium Mycoplasma suis (or Eperitrozoon suis) is the agent responsible for swine Eperitrozoonose disease. In some condition, the bacteria infect erythrocytes, damaging them causing anemia and jaundice in animals. The swine Eperitrozoonose is also linked to reproductive problems and weight loss in pigs.
Mycoplasma suis infection diagnosis should be differentiated from other kinds of infections caused by other pathogens, including Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, Leptospira, Haemophilus parasuis. In this context, PCR detection can be a very efficient and faster diagnosis method for Mycoplasma suis .
Mycoplasma suis Qual Box 1.0 is a test for molecular diagnosis of Mycoplasma suis infection, with a greater sensitivity, specificity and speed compared with traditional methods.
Mycoplasma suis Qual Box 1.0 detects the gene coding for Mycoplasma suis 16S rRNA.
