  • Beetle Identification (Microscopy)

    Identification of toxic blister beetles by microscopic examination.

  • Beetles found in alfalfa hay

    Beetles found in a new batch of alfalfa hay were submitted to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) for identification. TVMDL’s toxicology section can identify toxic and non-toxic beetles using microscopic examination. The beetles submitted were identified as Tiger beetles (Cicindelidae sp.) (Figure 1). Tiger beetles are characterized by having large, carnivorous mouth parts…

  • Bluetongue & Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Panel (rtPCR)

    Detection of bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) by multiplex real time PCR.

  • Borrelia spp. (rtPCR)

    Detection of Borrelia species, including B. burgdorferi, B. hermsii, B. parkeri, and B. turicatae by real time PCR.  Lyme Borreliosis (Borrelia burgdorferi) DNA is not typically detected in peripheral blood, even when Lyme disease is the cause of clinical signs.  This PCR for Borrelia species is offered for the detection of Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Borrelia…
