MiDOG Animal Diagnostics Launches Comprehensive Whole Genome Sequencing Test Covering Bacteria, Fungi, Parasites, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Virulence Factors in a Single Assay
MiDOG Animal Diagnostics launches Whole Genome Sequencing diagnostic service to provide one of the most comprehensive microbial analyses currently available in veterinary medicine. It is the first veterinary diagnostic laboratory to integrate bacteria, fungi, parasites, antimicrobial resistance profiling, and biofilm and virulence factor analysis into a single Whole Genome Sequencing test.
It established expertise in sequencing-based diagnostics, which expand pipeline to deliver species-level identification across bacteria, fungi, and parasites. It also detects antimicrobial resistance genes and clinically relevant virulence factors, including toxin-associated and biofilm-associated markers.
The market is driven by solutions in Veterinary medicine.
According to Towards Healthcare, the Livestock diagnostics market is projected to experience significant growth, with estimates suggesting the market size will increase from USD 8.49 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 18.3 billion by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2026 to 2035. Growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in animals is a major driver, so there is a rise in demand for genomic diagnostics, and the threat of antimicrobial resistance is shifting toward precision veterinary medicine.
