Description
The BIONOTE Anigen Rapid Leishmania Ab Test Kit is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of Leishmania infantum antibodies in dogs.
Leishmania infection can cause canine leishmaniasis, a significant vector-borne disease in dogs. This rapid test provides veterinarians with a convenient method for screening canine blood samples for antibodies associated with Leishmania infantum.
The test can be performed using canine whole blood, serum, or plasma and does not require additional laboratory equipment. BIONOTE specifies a testing time of approximately 20 minutes.
Key Features
- Detects Leishmania infantum antibodies
- Designed specifically for dogs
- Suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma
- Rapid chromatographic immunoassay
- Results in approximately 20 minutes
- Convenient point-of-care veterinary test
- No analyzer or specialized laboratory equipment required
- 10 tests per kit
What Does This Test Detect?
The test detects antibodies against Leishmania infantum in canine samples.
Because this is an antibody test, it detects the dog's immune response rather than directly detecting the parasite. Results should therefore be interpreted together with the dog's clinical signs, history, physical examination, and other laboratory findings.

Result Interpretation
Negative
Only the Control (C) line appears.
Positive
Both the Test (T) line and Control (C) line appear, indicating the presence of Leishmania infantum antibodies.
Invalid
The Control (C) line does not appear. The test should be repeated with a new test device.
A control line must appear for the test to be considered valid.
Storage
Store at 2–30°C.
Do not freeze.
Keep the test kit away from direct sunlight and use the test device immediately after removing it from the foil pouch. The kit is stable until the expiration date printed on the packaging when stored correctly.
Intended Use
For veterinary diagnostic use only.
The Anigen Rapid Leishmania Ab is intended for the qualitative detection of Leishmania infantum antibodies in canine whole blood, serum, or plasma.
Important Notes
- For veterinary diagnostic use only.
- For canine use only.
- This is an antibody detection test, not a direct parasite antigen test.
- A positive antibody result should be interpreted together with clinical signs and other diagnostic findings.
- A single test result should not be used as the sole basis for a definitive diagnosis.
- False-positive or false-negative results may occur.
- Additional clinical or laboratory testing may be required when results are questionable.
- Do not reuse test components.
- Do not use expired kits.
- Do not use a test device if its foil pouch is damaged or the seal is broken.
- Handle all biological samples as potentially infectious and use appropriate protective measures.
