Marine and Wildlife
Aquatic living animals face a lot of the same challenges as exotic animals, and an increased number of reports of mortality in marine mammals has indicated that infectious diseases are the leading cause of deaths, rather than other environmental, breeding, or immunological factors. The MiDOG All-in-One Test supports both clinical cases and proactive monitoring across zoo, wildlife, and conservation programs, helping teams act sooner when outcomes matter.
MiDOG uses DNA-based testing to detect a broad range of organisms and markers from one submission, supporting confident decisions for individual patients and managed populations.
The All-in-One Test has a proven track record to aid clinicians diagnosing the infections from samples such as:
- Blow wholes
- Feces / Fecal
- Skin
- Pool water
Patients include:
- Otters
- Dolphins
- Sharks
- Sea Horses
- Whales
- Sea Lions
MiDOG is built for:
✅ Clinical diagnostics when signs persist or results conflict
✅ Wellness screening to establish baselines and spot early change
✅ Surveillance testing for routine monitoring and trend tracking
✅ Outbreak monitoring to support fast response and containment
✅ Pool/Water & habitat testing to evaluate environmental contributors
✅ Dietary surveillance to assess feed-related microbial risk
