Diagnostic tests

In field epidemiology the term diagnosis generally means identification of a disease or condition that is affecting an animal. A diagnostic test is any procedure or process that may contribute to the development of a diagnosis. The term diagnostic test may be used to refer to a clinical examination of an individual animal or to a laboratory test performed on a sample collected from an animal (blood, faeces etc). The results of these tests are interpreted and used to determine if the animal has a disease or not.
