The Institute of Virology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Leipzig now offers a PCR-based detection method for the detection of the new coronavirus - SARS-CoV-2 - in pets and companion animals. Suitable test material are swabs from the nose and/or throat. Sampling systems with a virus transport medium are preferable to the classic dry swabs. Please use the Inquiry
for sending in samples.
Please note that we only examine veterinary and no human medical samples!
