Veterinary Tests: Ruminants Testing  

Aspect Scientific offers an extensive range of ELISA test kits for ruminants, supporting the detection and monitoring of a wide spectrum of infectious diseases in cattle, sheep, and goats.

From major notifiable diseases such as Blue Tongue (BTV), Brucella spp., Rift Valley Fever (RVFV), and Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), to endemic threats like Paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease), Schmallenberg virus, and Coxiella burnetii (Q fever), our assays are trusted by veterinary laboratories across the UK and Ireland. 

Produced in collaboration with globally recognised diagnostic manufacturers, these ruminant ELISA kits are validated for use with serum, plasma, and milk samples, offering excellent sensitivity and specificity. Designed to integrate with automated ELISA systems such as the DYNEX DS2®, DSX® and Agility®, they ensure robust, high-throughput testing in both surveillance and diagnostic workflows. 

Whether used for herd health management, export certification or disease control programmes, our ruminant ELISA range delivers dependable and reproducible results to support animal health and agricultural biosecurity. 

Veterinary Tests: Ruminants

Blue Tongue (BTV) Ag (Double Antibody ELISA Test) R.12.BTV.K.2

Blue Tongue Virus (BTV) Antigen Double Antibody ELISA Test is a highly reliable diagnostic method used to detect BTV antigens in livestock samples. This test plays a crucial role in identifying bluetongue disease, which affects ruminants such as sheep, cattle and goats. By using a double antibody sandwich format, the ELISA test ensures exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, making it ideal for veterinary laboratories and disease surveillance programmes. It is widely recognised as an essential tool for monitoring outbreaks and maintaining animal health standards.

Accurate detection of Blue Tongue Virus is vital for controlling disease spread and meeting international trade requirements. The ELISA technique offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to complex molecular tests, while delivering dependable results. Its straightforward procedure and compatibility with standard laboratory equipment make it suitable for large-scale testing. Regular use of this BTV antigen test supports biosecurity measures, protects livestock welfare and helps farmers comply with regulatory guidelines for disease prevention.

Blue Tongue (BTV) DR Ab R.12.BTV.K.0/2, R.12.BTV.K.0/5

The Blue Tongue Virus (BTV) DR Antibody ELISA is designed for the detection of serotype-specific antibodies, enhancing differentiation between vaccinated and naturally infected animals. This tool supports epidemiological surveillance and vaccination efficacy assessments in affected regions.

Brucella Ab (Small Ruminants) R.13.BM.K.1/2, R.13.BM.K.1/5

Coxiella Phase 1 Ab (Serum, Plasma and Milk) COX1VT0600

Targeting Phase 1 antibodies of Coxiella Burnetii, this ELISA kit differentiates acute from chronic Q fever infections, supporting precise diagnosis and disease management.

Coxiella Phase 2 Ab (Serum, Plasma and Milk) COX2VT0600

This ELISA detects Phase 2 antibodies against Coxiella Burnetii, aiding in early detection and epidemiological studies of Q fever in animals. 

Fasciola Hepatica (Bovine/Sheep) EIA-5075

This ELISA detects antibodies against Fasciola hepatica in cattle and sheep, aiding in diagnosis of liver fluke infections and supporting herd health management. 

Maedi Visna - Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Confirmation Ab R.13.SLC.K.1/2

This ELISA confirms infection with Maedi Visna and Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis viruses in small ruminants, aiding disease management.

Maedi Visna - Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Screening Ab R.13.SLS.K.1/2, R.13.SLS.K.1/5

Designed for screening small ruminants, this ELISA detects antibodies to Maedi Visna and CAEV viruses, supporting early detection.

Paratuberculosis Ab (Mycobacterium Avium Spp Paratuberculosis) - Serum and MilkR.12.PTB.K.1/2, R.12.PTB.K.1/5

Designed for diagnosing Johne’s disease, this ELISA identifies antibodies against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in serum and milk. Early detection helps reduce transmission within herds and supports long-term herd health planning. 

Peste Des Petits Ruminants PPR (PPRV) Ab - Serum and Milk R.13.PPR.K.3/2, R.13.PPR.K.3/5, R.13.PPR.K.3/10
