Information for the veterinarian Technical basis The URANOTEST Leishmania diagnostic kit is based on the immunochromatographic technique and is designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies for Leishmania infantum in whole blood, serum and plasma. The test consists of several overlapped membranes. On one of the membranes, there are a test line (T line) and control line (C line). The lines are not visible before applying the sample. After applying the sample in the appropriate sample well, migration begins by capillarity action through the membrane. If the result is negative, one purple colour band appears in the C area. This line, called control line, always appears, as it is a control line indicating that the test has successfully performed. If the test result is positive, in addition to the control line, a second line will form in the test area (Test line).

Can I dispense a drop of blood, serum or plasma directly from the syringe or with the aid of any pipette? How does one use the precision microcapillary? Can I use a tube other than the one included in the kit to collect blood? What should I do if I cannot use the blood at the time of its extraction? Can I use blood, serum or plasma immediately after removing it from the refrigerator? What happens if I forgot to do the reading at 20 minutes as recommended? In general, there is a lot of controversy regarding the reliability of quick Leishmania diagnostic tests. What degree of reliability does the Leishmania Uranotest have in diagnosing Leishmanosis? How should I interpret a test with weak strip colouring? How should I interpret a positive result without symptomatology? How should I interpret a negative result with symptomatology? What is the Leishmania Uranotest's detection limit? Is the Leishmania Uranotest compatible with detection protocols before vaccinating against Leishmania? Can there be crossed reactions with vaccinated dogs? I took the reading in the indicated time and the result was negative, but after a few hours, it became positive. How should I interpret the result?
