Tammy,
I think you confused some of the words above cause you said
I would not accept stats from necropsy labs, I would be pure silly....most dragons will show positive for adeno...Florida has stated this, you will see this in that long 15 pg document they are finishing up...so you will see adeno in most dragons on the necropsy that makes no sense, it is late so it could be me
Again, there are so many other questions that need answers even about the testing, stats, range of testing.
I get my information from Dr. Stacey and he knows of no other methods besides fecal PCR and the EM.
This really surprises me he would say this, are you sure? The EM and PRC are failry new, and there are questions about what a positive means from those test, prior, this was the only way to determine if an animal had adenovirus and it was sick due to it.
Even The Merck Veterinary Manual mentions it for testing and Wendy linked to and pasted thieir content on it here. Just put him adeno bearded dragon liver biospy and you will get several sources for it, it was very common
