Methods and apparatuses for detecting respiratory infections

A method for processing or analyzing a sample from a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:

• a) processing said sample using a lateral flow device configured to specifically bind to one or more target analytes associated with a respiratory condition associated with one or more pathogens that can cause Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC) in one or more discrete sections of said lateral flow device,
• wherein said lateral flow device is configured to produce a detectable signal in said one or more discrete sections upon binding to said one or more target analytes;
• and
• b) analyzing said detectable signal to determine if said subject has said respiratory condition or has an immunity to said respiratory condition.
