Other Serology Tests

We offer antibody and antigen testing for selected infectious diseases in canine, feline, and equine patients.

Turnaround time: Most serology testing is completed within 2 business days; RFFIT testing is typically completed within 1-2 weeks.

Online submission is encouraged for all testing. Screening tests may also be requested using the Serology-Virology General Submission Form. Endpoint titers must be requested through the Pathobiology Diagnostic Services Online Portal.
