Dr Wentz developed it, it is not available in Labs yet, but Dr Wentz will work with anyone referred to him to get the kit and solution to them, directions for the University to send it to that is working with him in this and and how to prep it,



It also detects some other viruses like cornona virus (I don't think it does paramyxo)



Like I said it is not available in Labs yet, but and the Dr at the University are in the process of sequencing the DNA to make a more feasible fecal protocal test that will be available for labs in the US. Hopefully this coming year.



Too many people have depended on local labs or vets in doing a necropsy and getting results and most time those are inconclusive, they do not take it far enough or have the expertise to identify somethings. Not to mention some of the mess ups we have see and had happen to us also... we sent off a liver section to a top name lab and got a report back on lesions on a tail section for chiss sake! Redid the test, then got another report of nothing found, but told they would do the further test we requested... finally 2 months later when no further reports came, I called them and they said they misfiled the slides, but would get them out and read them..... they sent me another report of a culture of the tail section!!!! We did not send a tail section!!



$400 later and worthless reports we sent another tissue sample to a univeristy and got the exact diagnoses we had thought all along within days....... save the time and money and go to the experts working with a problem. I am NOT real impressed with some of the Labs!
