* Where 2 prices are listed, the first price applies to the fee for the first animal tested in a submission; the second (lower) price applies to the fee charged for 2nd and subsequent animals as part of the same submission.
** APMV-1 is also known as Newcastle Disease Virus
*** Infectious Bursal Disease Isolation requires 2 component tests – virus isolation and PCR, which are charged separately. Samples for PCR are derived from the virus isolation.
