ASF test
African swine fever (ASF) cannot be differentiated from other febrile haemorrhagic syndromes or bacterial septicaemias of pigs by either clinical or post-mortem examination. Laboratory tests are,
therefore, essential for the diagnosis of ASF and are key to the success of ASF surveillance activities by JNCMED.
The ability to test for ASF at the point of disease allows for rapid response to outbreaks and control of the spread of disease in endemic situations.
These include basic rapid test kits for detecting antigens or antibodies using lateral flow devices that are simple to use, require minimal training and can provide a result within approximately 20 minutes.
