In this compelling case-based webinar, Dr. Lina Crespo Bilhalva and Dr. Mark Yacoub, Microbiome Scientist I at MiDOG, share the groundbreaking investigation that led to the identification of a previously undescribed Castellaniella species in a fatal canine respiratory case.
The session takes viewers on the complete diagnostic journey, from the dog’s initial presentation and the limitations of conventional testing to the pivotal role of MiDOG’s All-in-One Test, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), and Whole Genome Sequencing in solving this mystery.
