Insect disease diagnosis and management
Pathogen detection and management
We employ cutting-edge genomic technologies to identify potential pathogens in insect colonies before disease manifestation occurs. Our early detection systems enable proactive intervention, safeguarding colony viability, productivity, and product quality. Our comprehensive approach covers pathogen surveillance, identification, and containment strategies, minimizing economic and operational risks. By quantifying pathogen loads and mapping microbial community dynamics, our solutions enable early intervention strategies to prevent disease outbreaks, minimize colony losses, and maintain product integrity. Customized containment protocols are developed to mitigate transmission risks while preserving operational continuity.
Pathogen risk assessment
This service involves an on-site evaluation of insect production facilities to identify potential routes of pathogen introduction and spread. Our team conducts a thorough inspection of farm infrastructure, handling practices, feed and water management, and biosecurity measures. Based on the findings, we provide a tailored action plan that highlights critical control points, recommends cleaning and disinfection protocols, and suggests operational adjustments to minimize the risk of infection. This proactive approach enables producers to implement preventive measures, reduce disease outbreaks, and maintain consistent production performance, ultimately safeguarding both the health of the insects and the economic sustainability of the farm.
