Exploring to see if such a test exists that would work in the field that do not require collection/storage/expensive lab tests. Wondering if multiplex colormetric assays exist for wildlife, particularly for birds of prey using blood, tracheal or cloacal samples, feces, etc...
so far I don't think it exists. Thanks.
Suggest you contact US Fish and Wildlife as well as birds of prey recovery centers or local vets who would be familiar with various symptoms, sampling procedures, tests, etc. Zoos may also have some of these capabilities to diagnose issues.
Thank you. In my experience they do not. They rely on regular blood test perfeomed in large labs. Local vets at the zoo are not equipped either. I have been reading about POC testing but I dont think the technology is there yet. Thanks for your answer.
