Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply.

Identification of fungal organisms by PCR and sequencing. This PCR is recommended to complement identification of fungal organisms on histopathology and cytology. The assay is not recommended when fungal organisms are not observed histologically, due to the potential of amplification of non specific contaminants.
