Real-time polymerase chain reaction (detecting a fusion gene may provide differential diagnosis in certain leukemias).\nAutomated fluorescent in situ hybridization (same as above)\n\nBut I believe you've meant something else. I am not aware of any automated diagnostic algorithm softwares, and there shouldn't be any. Be aware of technologic tenesmus! Use your mind!

Probably immunology or virology would be your best bets.  \n\nCapital letters are your friend :)

sounds like the dogs have sarcoptic mange (mites) and when the mites live on people they call it scabies. Take the dogs to the vet and have a skin scraping done, that'll tell you what it is for sure.

Liebermann-Burchard test\nA colourimetric test for unsaturated sterols, notably cholesterol; a blue-green colour develops when such substances are added to acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid in chloroform.\n\nFor the Liebermann-Burchard test for cholesterol, students put 10 drops of the above solutions of cholesterol, coconut oil, or lard in separate dry test tubes and add 3 drops of acetic anhydride and one drop of concentrated sulfuric acid. Formation of a green or green-blue color after a few minutes is positive. Ideally, the cholesterol solution gives a nice reaction, the coconut oil should show no significant color change, and the lard gives a weak reaction. The results for this test have been variable over the past few years. For example, coconut oil sometimes gives a green color, and unsaturated oils invariably do, whereas lard often gives a brown color.  I think the variabilities have been due to using old solutions; they should be made fresh with reasonably fresh samples, which is fairly inconvenient.

Stool test: \n\nExamination of proglottids passed in the stool of the patient reveals tapeworm infections.\n\nThe characteristic diagnostic feature of the beef tapeworm infection is the ability of the proglottids to crawl. \n\nMicroscopic examination: \n\nMicroscopic identification of the eggs is the basis of specific tapeworm infection diagnosis.  \n\nBlood test: \n\nIt shows elevated levels of eosinophils in the blood of the patient. \n\nPresences of large and pale red blood cells are indicative of vitamin B12 deficiency characteristic of fish tapeworm infections. \n\nBlood samples are taken from the patient to detect the presence of antibodies against the larval stage of the tapeworm.

http://www.histopathology-india.net/AfTryp.htm\nHuman African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, is a disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or T. brucei rhodesiense. Humans are the main reservoir of both forms.        \nThese hemoflagellate protozoa are transmitted by the bite of various species of Glossina, the tsetse fly (Image) . The trypanosomes give rise to two distinct clinical entities, Gambian trypanosomiasis (chronic infection) and Rhodesian trypanosomiasis (acute infection). \n\nAmerican Trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease), a zoonotic infection by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, causes acute, subacute and chronic parasitemia, with dissemination to many organs, specially the heart, brain, esophagus and colon. Infections through the intact mucous membranes occur most frequently in the lips or in the conjunctivae, when the eyes are rubbed with fingers soiled with the insect faeces.\nT. cruzi enters macrophages by parasite-specified phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is partially dependent on macrophage cell surface receptors. The protozoon does not remain within phagocytic vacuole but escapes into the cytoplasm where it multiplies. By leaving the parasitophorous vacuole, the organism escapes the action of microbicidal lysosomal enzymes. \nSpecific diagnosis of America trypanosomiasis may be accomplished by the finding of the typical trypanosome stage of T. cruzi in the blood during febrile episodes.       \nAspiration of spleen, liver, lymph nodes, or bone marrow will frequently reveal the leishmanial form of the organism in fixed macrophages.\nhttp://www.histopathology-india.net/Chaga.htm

The vet will test your pet for heartworms, and then will give you a drug to give your pet once a month to prevent getting the disease. It's caused by tiny filiarial worms blocking the vessels of the heart.

I actually just heard about this. There is a place that trains dogs to sniff out cancers. It sounds kinda strange, but they stated that some dogs had done this without any training.
