Role of the gut microbiome in pet health
Research shows that the intestinal microbiome of pets is influenced by a variety of factors, including diet, age, environment and medical treatment. A balanced diet rich in fiber promotes a healthy microbiome, while antibiotics can disrupt this balance by eliminating beneficial bacteria.
Detecting viruses in complex samples
The power of next-generation sequencing (NGS) combined with cutting-edge bioinformatics tools can reveal the presence of viruses, even in very small quantities, in a complex sample.
DIAG4ZOO offers a precise nodavirus detection service
DIAG4ZOO provides a precise and highly sensitive nodavirus detection service. Based on the one-step RT-qPCR technique, this service is a valuable asset in the technical and operational arsenal of aquaculture production management, farm surveillance and epidemic management.
This service offers numerous advantages for aquaculture stakeholders, not only in terms of biosecurity and sustainable farm management, but also in scientific terms (transmission dynamics, monitoring of strain evolution, and development of new treatments) and economic terms (guaranteeing the good health of farms leads to economic stability and market satisfaction).
DIAG4ZOO uses its technical expertise in genetics to identify the different species of tuna fish
DIAG4ZOO offers the fishing and seafood processing industries a tuna species identification service based on meat samples (loin, steak, etc.). We tell you more about the services offered by DIAG4ZOO and their usefulness.
DIAG4ZOO performs microbiome analysis of samples from aquaculture productions
DIAG4ZOO was recently commissioned by a major European aquaculture producer to study the ecosystem of its ponds, i.e. to analyze all the microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts) predominant in the environment studied. The microbiome analysis method allows the identification and enumeration of these microorganisms by isolating and simply reading their genomes present in the collected samples (water, larva, feces…).
DIAG4ZOO develops a genetic traceability method dedicated to swordfish
DIAG4ZOO was commissioned by a leading European food company specializing in the distribution of seafood products to trace fish samples presented as swordfish. This work required research and development for the development of a new method of species identification via genetic biomarkers from a few milligrams of flesh.
DIAG4ZOO presents its activity during the summer school “One Health” organized by Montpellier University of Excellence
The Summer School “One Health” of the Key Initiative Muse “Risks & Vectors” (September 7-10, 2021, Montpellier, France) is intended for master students to better understand the concept of “One Health” and to better know the actors of Occitania in connection with this theme. In this context, DIAG4ZOO presents its activity, its expertise in molecular biology, its veterinary diagnostics, and its biological analysis services for animal research and industry: detection of pathogens, biological markers of interest, PCR…
