Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPI)
The Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPI) Test Card detects the presence of Canine Parainfluenza Virus, a contagious virus that primarily affects the respiratory system in dogs. CPI is one of the key contributors to kennel cough and can cause symptoms such as coughing, nasal discharge, fever, and lethargy. While CPI infections are typically mild, they can lead to more serious complications, particularly in puppies or dogs with weakened immune systems. Early detection is important for proper management and to prevent the spread of the virus to other dogs.
Rapid Detection: Provides result in 30minutes
Easy-to-Use: Simple one-step process, compact and easy to store
Non-Invasive: Detects CPI from nasal or throat swap samples, avoiding invasive methods.
Use: Suitable for veterinary clinics, emergency care, or shelters.
Overview
Early detection of Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPI) is essential for effective treatment and minimizing the spread to other dogs. The Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPI) Test Card provides a quick and reliable method for identifying the virus, allowing veterinarians and pet owners to take prompt action. Timely intervention can help reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent further transmission among dogs.

Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPIV) is a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory system of dogs. It is one of the main causes of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), commonly referred to as kennel cough. The virus causes inflammation of the airways, leading to symptoms such as coughing, nasal discharge, and in some cases, fever. While CPIV is generally not life-threatening on its own, it can lead to secondary bacterial infections, which can make the illness more severe.
Canine Parainfluenza Virus is highly contagious and spreads through direct and indirect contact with infected dogs.
Direct contact with an infected dog’s saliva, nasal discharge, or cough
Indirect contact via contaminated objects such as toys, bedding, food and water bowls, and leashes
The virus can spread easily in crowded environments such as shelters, boarding facilities, dog parks, or any place where dogs come into close contact with one another.
Common Infection: Canine Parainfluenza is one of the most common causes of upper respiratory infections in dogs.
Self-Limiting Illness: While it can cause significant discomfort, most dogs recover within 2 to 3 weeks with proper care, and the condition is rarely fatal.
Secondary Complications: In some cases, CPIV can lead to pneumonia or other respiratory issues if left untreated, especially in puppies, elderly dogs, or dogs with pre-existing health conditions.
Puppies: Young puppies with immature immune systems are more vulnerable to respiratory infections like CPIV.
Unvaccinated Dogs: Dogs that have not been vaccinated against CPIV are at a higher risk.
Dogs in High-Risk Environments: Shelters, boarding kennels, grooming salons, and dog parks with high dog populations are common places for CPIV outbreaks to occur due to the close proximity of dogs.
Dogs with Weakened Immune Systems: Dogs with chronic health conditions or those on immunosuppressive medications are at increased risk for more severe illness.
