Logo & Visual Identity
This design features two organic shapes that embrace the logotype, expressing the emotional connection between Bioguard and companion animals through heartfelt guardianship. The shape integrates genetic cells and specimen elements organically.
Additionally, the central part of the logotype incorporates an organic shape motif into the “b” and “d” letters in white font, consistent with the overall shape.
The logo incorporates the red cross symbol to emphasize the medical industry category, consistent with our previous logo. It also mirrors our slogan, “Science For Animal Care,” encapsulates our mission and values, emphasizing our fusion of technology and empathy.
The logo is also interpreted as a shield representing our commitment to protecting our companion animals through innovative diagnostics technology, as our name, Bioguard, suggests, like a guardian of animal lives.

Upper respiratory infections are frequently observed in cats that have been exposed to other felines, such as in shelters, breeding catteries, and feral cat colonies. These infections can be caused by different types of pathogens, which can harm the cat's overall health. This webinar will cover the common causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for feline upper respiratory infections.

| Geographical distribution of Avian influenza in 2023
|
|
During the period of 3 December 2022 to 1 March 2023, domestic and wild birds in 24 different European countries were reported to have been infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus, clade 2.3.4.4b. Seabirds, particularly black-headed gulls, were observed to have an unexpectedly high number of HPAI virus detections, leading to large mortality events in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy.
Genetic analysis showed a close relationship among viruses collected from black-headed gulls, indicating that the virus spread southward. The virus was found to persist in Europe in residential wild birds even after the summer months. While the virus still preferred avian-like receptors, several mutations were detected that increased its potential to infect humans. |
|
As breeding bird colonies move inland, the risk of HPAI virus infection for poultry may increase due to the virus circulating in black-headed gulls and other gull species. In the Americas, the worldwide spread of HPAI A(H5N1) virus continued southward from Mexico to southern Chile, with the Peruvian pelican being the most frequently reported infected species, resulting in thousands of deaths.
HPAI A(H5N1) was reported to have been found in mammals, which was likely due to feeding on infected wild birds. In January and February 2023, a mass mortality event of sea lions was observed in Peru. Since October 2022, there were six A(H5N1) detections in humans reported from Cambodia, China, Ecuador, and Vietnam, as well as two A(H5N6) human infections from China.
The risk of infection with currently circulating avian H5 influenza viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b in Europe is assessed as low for the general population in the EU/EEA, and low to moderate for occupationally or otherwise exposed people. |
