If second, convalescent samples are later submitted, tests on both samples will be run in parallel and fees for both samples will be charged. If acute samples are submitted alone please indicated if all tests should be performed. When acute and convalescent samples are/will be collected, for most serology assays they should always be tested in parallel, and paired results interpreted. Maternal heparin whole blood (green top tube) Maternal EDTA whole blood (lavender top tube) or If indicated, add Virus Isolation ( VI) (ex: Caprine Herpesvirus 1) on fresh tissue: lung, placenta including cotyledons, abomasal contents, kidney, liver, heart, adrenal, skin. If indicated, add Selenium on fetal liver. If indicated, add Border Disease SN ( OBDVSN) to heart blood (serum), peritoneal, pleural or pericardial fluid in sterile red top tube. If placentitis present, add Coxiella burnetii PCR ( COXPCR) to placenta (abomasal contents or lung if placenta not available). Ship fresh tissue chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing. If full necropsy desired, see necropsy testing. Submit 2 fresh tissue samples: placenta including cotyledons and fetal kidney preferred stomach contents acceptable
