Overview

A rapid and sensitive test for the detection of Classical Swine Fever Viral (CSFV)   RNA extracted from porcine nasal swabs. The kit targets a specific sequence located within the 5’-UTR of the CSFV genome. Several publications have described the utility of the test in both laboratory and field settings (1, 2).
