Companion diagnostic tests, like immunoassays, are vital for disease control. This article reviews World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) guidelines for validating these diagnostic tests, ensuring accurate disease detection.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary diagnostics
  • Immunological assays
  • Disease control strategies

Background:

  • Companion differential diagnostic technology aids in animal disease control and eradication.
  • Examples include enzyme-linked immunoassays and particle concentration fluorescence immunoassays.
  • Accurate disease prediction relies on validated diagnostic sensitivities and specificities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an overview of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) guidelines for diagnostic test validation.
  • To emphasize the importance of complete validation for companion diagnostic technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of official guidelines established by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
  • Focus on procedures for complete validation of diagnostic tests.
