Why use PCR to detect infectious diseases of dogs and cats?

Molecular testing using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) has revolutionized the way
veterinarians, researchers, zoos and animal care facilities maintain animal health and obtain
disease data.

The sensitivity, specificity and speed with which pathogens are identified by PCR enable
diagnostic, research and monitoring possibilities unavailable using other techniques.
Molecular techniques represent a dramatically effective tool for the diagnosis of disease in
dogs, cats and other animals.

In PCR testing, nucleic acid -- DNA or RNA -- is isolated from the specimen, then amplified
(after an extra reverse transcription step in the case of RNA) using highly specific primers
complimentary to known target pathogen sequences. References and controls are run
simultaneously; internal controls monitor extraction and PCR efficiency. Amplified
sequences are visualized and recorded using state-of-the-art protocols and instrumentation.
