2.0 serum in non‑additive tube (do NOT use serum separator tube) OR 2.0 mL CSF in non‑additive tube (do NOT use anti‑coagulant).
Test Description
This tests for exposure to S. neurona and Neospora hughesi as the causative agents of EPM. This test should be interpreted considering seroprevalence of EPM in the area where the horse resides. This test is more likely to be accurate in areas with lower seroprevalence of the disease.
Note: If submitting BOTH serum and CSF, use code CS14534 as the EPM IFAT Panel with Ratio.
Interferences: Hemolysis may interfere with testing.
