Skin disease cases often present with overlapping clinical signs, making it difficult to differentiate between parasitic, fungal, and infectious causes based on clinical appearance alone.
This panel is designed to:
The Ringworm PCR assay detects the three most common dermatophyte pathogens:
These species are the most frequent causes of dermatophytosis in veterinary patients.
Ringworm PCR is target-specific.
Dermatophyte species outside these targets will not be detected by PCR, but can be identified through fungal culture.
PCR Advantage
Culture Advantage
Instead of waiting over two weeks for initial answers, clinicians receive:
✔ Rapid PCR results for common pathogens
✔ Ongoing culture for comprehensive fungal evaluation
This combination improves both speed and diagnostic coverage.
This panel combines rapid molecular detection with culture-based confirmation, allowing clinicians to:
