Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sample Pooling – What is it and what is good for?
Q: How does sample pooling impact the testing, and are there cases where pooling is more helpful than others?
Pooling is most helpful when disease prevalence is low, such as general herd surveillance with little exposure, but it can be inappropriate if a known exposure or many positives are suspected, in which case individual testing is preferable.
Poultry Programs – Serving every flock
Q: Dia, what does TVMDL offer in terms of testing and diagnostics?
TVMDL provides disease surveillance, routine diagnostics for bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic pathogens, serology to determine exposure and vaccination status, molecular PCR tests for rapid detection, necropsy and pathology to identify causes of death, and microbiology/histopathology with secure result reporting to guide management decisions.
Poultry Programs – Serving every flock
Q: Sydney, what are some of those critical diseases that TVMDL tracks?
They focus on avian influenza, Newcastle disease, and infectious laryngotracheitis, among others, because these diseases threaten both commercial and backyard flocks and can be zoonotic or have significant economic impact. Early detection and rapid reporting help contain outbreaks and protect both animal and public health.
Dermatophytosis – Ringing out testing details for ringworm
Q: Kelsey, is there anything else that you'd like to share with our clients about dermatophyte testing?
Fungal cultures are time consuming but highly beneficial when samples are viable and collected properly; outsourcing to trained TVMDL staff can relieve practitioners of the logistical burden and improve diagnostic accuracy for their patients.
Dermatophytosis – Ringing out testing details for ringworm
Q: So why would we want to do a culture over, say, PCR testing?
Culture provides information on spore viability and serves as a reliable follow-up method to monitor treatment progress, even though PCR offers faster initial results. Cultures can be held for several weeks to confirm viability and guide decisions about when an animal is truly clear of infection.
