Can you test a duck for diseases?

[MochaDuck]

Hi. I was wondering. Can you test a duck for diseases? Would you go to a vet to do it, or do you get some kit that you send back to wherever? How accurate are the test results (whether it be from a vet or somewhere else)?
Thanks all

What sort of diseases do you want to test for?

I guess just anything that could wipe out my flock. The most dangerous ones.

Have you had any deaths recently?

No I'm just adding a new bird to the flock, and I plan to quarantine it; but I'd like to double check with a medical test.

Do you know of any tests I'm able to do?

There are a bunch of diseases listed there, but ducks don't get all of them, so google each one to see if ducks get it.

What state do you live in and is the duck coming from that state?

I prefer not to share my state, but it's coming from the same state as me.

Not California I hope.
