Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Identification and Characterization

Fungal pathogens pose significant health risks to both domestic and wild animals, impacting veterinary practice and animal welfare. Accurate identification and thorough characterization of these pathogens are essential for effective treatment and prevention strategies. BioVenic offer comprehensive solutions for veterinary fungal pathogen identification and characterization, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies to ensure precise diagnostics and in-depth understanding of fungal pathogens affecting veterinary health.

Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Identification and Characterization Services

Our service portfolio encompasses a wide range of advanced techniques tailored to meet the needs of veterinary professionals and researchers.

• Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Morphology

  Morphological analysis remains a fundamental approach in fungal pathogen identification. Our laboratory utilizes advanced microscopy techniques, including light microscopy and electron microscopy, to examine the structural features of fungal organisms. Our experienced mycologists provide detailed morphological reports, aiding veterinary researchers in developing diagnosics and treatments.

  • Identifying fungal species based on spore formation, hyphal structures, and reproductive mechanisms.
  • Differentiating between pathogenic and non-pathogenic species.
  • Assessing fungal growth patterns and colony morphology.

• Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Genomics Services

  Genomic analysis offers unparalleled insights into the genetic makeup of fungal pathogens. By understanding the genetic basis of animal infectious fungal diseases, our genomics services support the development of targeted therapies for animals and inform epidemiological studies.

  

  • 18S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing: Targeted amplification of ribosomal RNA regions, which are highly conserved and suitable for identifying a wide range of fungal species. It is especially useful for detecting fungal pathogens in mixed or complex samples.

  • De Novo Sequencing: Ideal for sequencing genomes of fungal species without a reference genome. This approach allows for the assembly of new fungal genomes, aiding in the discovery of novel species and genetic variations.

  • Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS): Providing a comprehensive view of the fungal genome, facilitating species identification, and uncovering genetic variations associated with pathogenicity and drug resistance.

• Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Transcriptomics Services
  Transcriptomics focuses on the study of RNA transcripts, revealing active gene expression profiles in fungal pathogens, which provide insights into the functional aspects of fungal pathogens, enhancing our understanding of their biology and interaction with the animal host.

  • RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq): Comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome to identify differentially expressed genes under various conditions, such as antifungal treatment or host interaction.

  • RT-qPCR: Quantitative assessment of specific gene expression levels to validate findings from RNA-Seq.

• Veterinary Fungal Pathogen Proteomics and Metabolomics Services

  

  Proteomics and metabolomics offer a deep dive into the protein and metabolic profiles of fungal pathogens and pathogenic interaction with host animals, aiding in the discovery of novel drug targets and biomarkers for disease diagnostics.

  • Protein Expression Analysis: Studying the expression and post-translational modifications of fungal proteins to understand their role in pathogenicity and resistance mechanisms.

  • Metabolite Profiling: Identifying and quantifying metabolites to uncover metabolic pathways active during infection.
