Background Information

Canine coronavirus is a virus of the family Coronaviridae that causes a highly contagious intestinal disease worldwide in dogs. It was discovered in 1971 in Germany during an outbreak in sentry dogs. The incubation period is one to three days. The disease is highly contagious and is spread through the feces of infected dogs, who usually shed the virus for six to nine days, but sometimes for six months following infection. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. Diagnosis is through detection of virus particles in the feces.

LiliF CCV Ag rapid kit is a Lateral Flow ImmunoChromatographic Assay kit for the rapid and qualitative detection of canine coronavirus antigen in body secretions of dogs.
