IDEXX RADIL Discovers Novel Picornavirus - Boone Cardiovirus
October 30, 2012
Boone cardiovirus (BCV) is a novel picornavirus belonging to the genus Cardiovirus. From our studies to date, BCV is most similar to TMEV and RTV as far as infectivity and pathogenesis.
Helicobacter Reporting Slated For Changes

As of March 18, 2013, IDEXX RADIL will modify the way Helicobacter results are reflected on client reports. Samples will continue to be tested using a Helicobacter spp. PCR that detects all bacteria in the Helicobacter genus, but this test result will now be directly displayed on reports. We will also continue to report H. bilis, H. hepaticus, H. rodentium, H. typhlonius, and H. ganmani providing one of the broadest Helicobacter detection panels available. However, because in recent years we have not detected Helicobacter trogontum in laboratory rodents, this species will no longer be reported.For more information, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-669-0825 or 1-573-499-5700 or by email at idexx-radil@idexx.com.

IDEXX RADIL Announces Zebrafish Health Monitoring
A growing number of researchers are choosing zebrafish as models for biomedical research because of the advantages zebrafish offer over other animal models for certain studies. First, their small size and ease of breeding make zebrafish relatively inexpensive to maintain, which allows researchers to increase animal numbers and to perform experiments using zebrafish that would be cost prohibitive using larger animal models. Secondly, embryos are transparent, which allows easy visualization of cell and organ development and permits experimental manipulations involving DNA or mRNA injection, cell labeling and transplantation.
