KeyScreen’s unique approach to identifying treatment-resistant hookworm Now that we send our samples to Antech, we’re able to treat pets effectively and relieve our staff of performing fecals.' Our team was thrilled to give up the messy and time-consuming task of counting and recounting eggs in fecal samples. 'Using KeyScreen not only helps us treat pets effectively the first time, it also saves us time. 'In our practice, KeyScreen gives us a level of insight into parasite activity that we simply haven’t had before,' said Nicole Sheehan, DVM, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, veterinarian and founder, Whole Pet Veterinary Hospitals. 20 at 12:45 pm PST at Oceanside B, Level 2. Antech will discuss this at the WVC Annual Conference in Las Vegas at a panel presentation titled, ' Getting around to endoparasites: panel perspectives on GI parasite preventative care,' on Monday, Feb. As the only parasite test that can quickly deliver information about treatment-resistant hookworm, KeyScreen’s enhanced detection capabilities give veterinary teams the most complete diagnostics information available, allowing for more precise and effective treatment. KeyScreen is a molecular diagnostic test that detects 20 intestinal parasites in cats and dogs, including Giardia with zoonotic potential and treatment-resistant canine hookworm.įollowing researchers’ discovery of a new mutation for treatment-resistant hookworm, Antech determined that screening for both mutations increased KeyScreen’s detection rate for this emerging threat by more than 25 percent. Treatment-resistance in canine hookworm is a growing problem across North AmericaįOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., February 20, 2023-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Antech Diagnostics, North America’s largest network of veterinary diagnostic reference laboratories, today announced that KeyScreen™ GI Parasite PCR will detect a new mutation for treatment-resistant canine hookworm by mid-April.
