Trichomoniasis ("Trich") is a venereal disease of cattle caused by the protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus, which is transmitted from cow to cow by infected bulls. This disease reduces calf production by decreasing fertility and inducing abortion his amplification kit detects Trichomoniasisvia Real TimePCR. This allows absolute quantification or a qualitative assay.
Real Time PCR is based on fluorogenic dyes. Ct valuesbetween 12 - 36 should be taken as positive. Values between 36 - 40 Ct should be taken as marginal positive. Ct values above 40 must be considered as negative
