Advanced Avian Diagnostics
Dates: October 2–5, 2026
Venue: Renaissance Austin Hotel
Location: Austin, Texas
Booth: 131
MiDOG will be exhibiting at the 47th Annual Association of Avian Veterinarians Conference & Expo in Austin. Visit Booth 131 to explore how next-generation sequencing can support infectious disease investigation across companion birds, zoological collections, wildlife patients, and other avian species.
Avian infections can be challenging to investigate when organisms are slow-growing, difficult to culture, unexpected, or not included in a targeted diagnostic panel. Mixed infections can add further complexity, particularly when multiple organisms and antimicrobial resistance findings must be considered within the patient’s clinical history.
MiDOG analyzes microbial DNA directly from submitted samples. Depending on the test ordered, results may provide insight into bacteria, fungi, parasites, antimicrobial resistance markers, relative abundance, and other microbial features relevant to the submitted sample. MiDOG testing is available across a wide range of animal species, including birds and other exotic patients.
Meet the MiDOG team and learn more about:
- MiDOG All-in-One and Parasite-Only Testing
- Broad microbial testing for avian patients
- Difficult-to-culture and unexpected organisms
- Polymicrobial and recurrent infections
- Antimicrobial resistance insights
- Avian sample collection and submission
- Report interpretation and free veterinary consultations
Whether you are managing an unresolved infection, investigating an unusual organism, or reviewing a patient that has not responded as anticipated, connect with MiDOG to discover where broader microbial testing may fit into your diagnostic approach.
MiDOG Scientific Presentation
Discovery of a Unique Coxiella Species in a Deadly Macaw Case: Insights Into Avian Coxiellosis
Join MiDOG’s Jenna Archambeau for a scientific presentation examining the discovery of a unique Coxiella species in a fatal macaw case.
The presentation will explore how advanced molecular investigation helped characterize the organism and provide new insight into avian coxiellosis, highlighting the value of broader microbial testing when an unusual or unexpected pathogen may be involved.
