- Accuplex is a canine vector-borne disease screening for heartworm, Lyme disease (includes screening for antibodies against two C6 peptides), E. canis, and A. phagocytophilum. KeyScreen is a fecal PCR test that detects 20 individual parasite species. If detected, Toxocara spp. will be further speciated (T. cati, T. canis, and T. leonina), Ancyclostoma caninum will be evaluated for benzimidazole resistance, and Giardia evaluated for subtypes A and B.
