This brochure focuses on using the Alveo Sense Poultry Avian Influenza Test for wild and migratory bird surveillance. Wild birds are a primary reservoir and vector for avian influenza, so detecting the virus in these populations gives authorities and producers an early-warning signal before it reaches commercial flocks.
It positions Alveo Sense as a field-deployable tool that brings molecular testing to the point of sample collection - with preliminary results to a smartphone in under an hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Alveo Sense be used in the field for wild bird surveillance?
The system is portable and app-guided and designed to run outside a laboratory, so samples can be tested at or near the point of collection, with preliminary results to a smartphone in under an hour. Please note: this test has not been validated on wild bird populations. Use of the product for wild bird monitoring is recommended for research use only.
What sample types are compatible for wild bird surveillance?
Cloacal, oropharyngeal or fecal pools.
Why is wild bird surveillance important?
Wild and migratory birds are a major reservoir for avian influenza; testing them provides early warning and may help protect domestic flocks before the virus spreads.
Does it work without a network connection?
Yes. Offline mode stores up to 10 results per paired Analyzer and uploads them automatically once cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity returns.
