The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) recommends fecal testing for puppies and kittens four times in their first year and twice-annual testing for adult pets, which underscores the importance of reliable testing for intestinal parasites during preventive care visits.1 The addition of Fecal Dx antigen testing detects up to five times more infections than flotation tests alone by identifying parasite-specific antigens rather than relying on the presence of eggs.2–4 With its industry-leading antigen detection capabilities, Fecal Dx antigen testing identifies infections earlier than other testing modalities, 2–4 enabling veterinarians to develop targeted treatment and prevention plans with confidence..

伴侣动物寄生虫委员会（CAPC）建议小狗和小猫在第一年进行四次粪便测试，成年宠物每年进行两次测试，这突显了在预防性护理访问期间对肠道寄生虫进行可靠检测的重要性。1粪便Dx抗原检测的增加，通过识别寄生虫特异性抗原而不是依靠鸡蛋的存在，检测出的感染率比单独的浮选检测高出五倍。2-4凭借其业界领先的抗原检测能力，粪便Dx抗原检测比其他检测方式更早发现感染，2-4使兽医有信心制定有针对性的治疗和预防计划。。

'We are thrilled to announce the second expansion of the Fecal Dx antigen testing platform in less than two years, reinforcing our commitment to continuous innovation,' said Jay Mazelsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of IDEXX. 'Early detection is key for intestinal parasites, which affect one in five dogs,5 and our highly differentiated antigen testing platform, soon with Cystoisospora, offers a comprehensive solution that accurately detects the most clinically relevant infections.'.

IDEXX总裁兼首席执行官杰伊·马泽尔斯基（JayMazelsky）说，我们很高兴宣布在不到两年的时间内第二次扩展粪便Dx抗原测试平台，加强了我们对持续创新的承诺早期发现是肠道寄生虫的关键，肠道寄生虫影响五分之一的狗[5]，我们的高分化抗原检测平台很快就会与Cystoisospora一起提供全面的解决方案，可以准确检测最具临床相关性的感染。”。

Fecal Dx antigen testing continues to serve as a foundational tool for veterinary practices, eliminating the need for time-consuming fecal flotation testing and ultimately redeploying staff time back to patient and client care. Freeing up staff time is especially important when 87% of veterinary practices are looking to increase their operational efficiency.6 Fecal Dx antigen testing is supplemented by the IDEXX FecalChek® Home Collection Kit, a convenient submission solution for veterinarians, allowing pet owners to collect and send in their pet's fecal specimen for intestinal parasite screening.

粪便Dx抗原检测继续作为兽医实践的基础工具，消除了耗时的粪便浮选检测的需要，并最终将工作人员的时间重新部署到患者和客户护理上。当87%的兽医机构希望提高其运营效率时，腾出工作人员的时间尤为重要。6粪便Dx抗原检测由IDEXX FecalChek®家庭收集试剂盒补充，这是一种方便兽医提交的解决方案，允许宠物主人收集并发送宠物的粪便样本进行肠道寄生虫筛查。

In addition to the IDEXX FecalChek kit, IDEXX's communication materials help veterinarians discuss the importance of fecal testing to promote improved pet owner compliance and, ultimately, better patient outcomes.'Antigen testing has emerged as a more reliable diagnostic test that provides earlier insights, and with the addition of Cystoisospora, Fecal Dx antigen testing detects all the intestinal parasites I commonly see in my patients,' said Dr.

除了IDEXX FecalChek试剂盒之外，IDEXX的沟通材料还可以帮助兽医讨论粪便检测对于提高宠物主人依从性以及最终改善患者预后的重要性。”抗原检测已经成为一种更可靠的诊断检测方法，可以提供早期的见解，随着胱氨酸孢子菌的加入，粪便Dx抗原检测可以检测出我在患者体内常见的所有肠道寄生虫。

Michael Rose, Monticello Animal Hospital.* 'By sending specimens to IDEXX Reference Laboratories, our practice benefits from not having to do manual testing, which saves time and improves our workflow.'Cystoisospora will automatically be included in Fecal Dx antigen testing panels and profiles at the time of launch with no additional charge to customers.

蒙蒂塞洛动物医院（Monticello Animal Hospital）的迈克尔·罗斯（Michael Rose）表示：“通过将标本发送到IDEXX参考实验室，我们的实践受益于不必进行手动测试，这节省了时间并改进了我们的工作流程。”Cystoisospora将在发布时自动包含在粪便Dx抗原测试面板和配置文件中，而不向客户收取额外费用。
