Collection and despatch of materials for the diagnosis of infectious diseases
If meaningful results are expected from any laboratory, the correct type of samples must be collected and rightly
preserved to prevent their deterioration prior to arrival at the laboratory. Generally speaking, samples to be sent to a
laboratory should be placed in a water-tight glass or plastic container. The container should be well packed to prevent
breakage during transit, this can be achieved by keeping them in ice placed into the container. This will keep the specimen
cool for eight and 24 hours depending on the external temperature. A vital point which needs emphasis is that the field
veterinary officer should procure complete history of the cases and send it to the laboratory along with materials with the
following information :
1. Clinical history including symptoms of the disease.
2. Animals involved
3. Breed, age, sex.
4. Numbers of animals attacked and total population of the susceptible animals, if possible.
5. Duration of sickness or outbreak.
6. No. of animals died.
7. Nature of feed, source of water supply, management, houses, pens, etc.
8 Post-mortem changes.
9. Time elapsed between death and collection of material.
