DiAGSure® Leptospirosis Taqman PCR kit (2 markers)

Catalog No.: GDQ6062-20R, GDQ6062-50R, GDQ6062-100R
Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Leptospirosis Detection Kit is a sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay designed for the detection of Leptospira species, the causative agents of leptospirosis—a zoonotic disease transmitted through contact with water or soil contaminated by the urine of infected animals, particularly rodents. This kit targets two genetic markers to ensure robust detection across diverse Leptospira strains. Leptospirosis presents as an acute febrile illness with symptoms ranging from mild flu-like signs to severe complications such as liver damage, kidney failure, meningitis, or pulmonary hemorrhage. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial, especially in endemic areas and during outbreaks, where the disease is often clinically indistinguishable from other tropical infections. The DiAGSure® kit enables rapid detection of Leptospira DNA from clinical specimens, supporting timely medical intervention, outbreak control, and effective public health surveillance of this widespread and potentially life-threatening zoonotic infection.
