Rising Application of Molecular Diagnostics in Veterinary Infectious Diseases Fuels the Europe Molecular Diagnostics for Infectious Disease Market
Diagnostic technologies that can detect emerging infectious animal diseases at an early stage are essential for reducing economic losses associated with outbreaks of such diseases. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the most widely used molecular assay globally for detecting animal pathogens. Diagnostic methods of this type are easy to use, cost-effective, highly sensitive, and specific, with the ability to detect at a high volume.
Point-of-care diagnostics (POCDs) are simple, rapid, and portable diagnostic devices that can detect the disease status at the field level. In recent years, real-time PCR (qPCR) has been transitioned into a POCD platform. These fully automated platforms combine nucleic acid extraction, thermal cycling, and on-site reporting results. For instance, MiniLab from Enigma Diagnostics is a molecular diagnostic platform of 10-35 kg that is carried at the field level and used for validating swine fever virus, avian influenza virus, classical swine fever virus, and foot-and-mouth disease virus for research purposes. The genesig detection kits of Primerdesign Ltd, UK, supplies lyophilized qPCR assay kits for the diagnosis of 62 bovine, 42 equine, 47 porcine, 60 avian, 40 canine, and 26 feline pathogens for research purposes. Similarly, Boster offers Bosterbio qPCR kits to detect up to 48 individual or pooled samples. It is used for gene expression profiling, target DNA quantification, microbial detection, viral or bacterial pathogen load determination, and evaluation of primer pair performance for probe-based qPCR.
Thus, molecular diagnostics methods such as PCR and qPCR to diagnose bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections in animals can replace the conventional methods such as serological, microscopic, and culture-based techniques.
Europe Molecular Diagnostics for Infectious Disease Market Overview
The European molecular diagnostics for infectious disease market is segmented into Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the Rest of Europe. The region holds a significant share of the global molecular diagnostics for infectious disease market and is expected to register a notable CAGR during 2022-2030. The market growth in Europe is attributed to an upsurge in life science research and an increase in government investments in testing infectious diseases. According to the data published in an article by the Robert Koch Institute, ~3,900 tuberculosis cases were registered in Germany in 2021. According to this study, ~5% of the test-site visitors in Germany had STD. Moreover, the number of annual visitors for chlamydia and gonorrhea tests had increased from 17% (2017) to 42% (2020). As per the INSTITUT PASTEUR, in France, influenza affects 2-8 million people each year; 10,000-15,000 patients succumb to death due to influenza. It has become a public health issue due to its seasonal outbreaks every year. Other viral infections are also on the rise in the country. As per INSTITUT PASTEUR, 134,000 people are living with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with the addition of ~4,000 new cases annually. According to the WHO, in 2020, ~13,786 deaths were reported due to infectious and parasitic diseases in Italy. Similarly, ~1,303 HIV cases were diagnosed with an incidence of 2.2 per 100,000 residents. As per the Population Reference Bureau, the aging population in Italy was 24% in 2022, which is expected to reach 30% by 2040. Techniques that are used in molecular diagnostic applications are core molecular biology methods such as PCR amplification, sequencing, nucleic acid isolation and quantification, and STR analysis.
