Diagnostic tests for pigs

Porcine assays for herd health and biosecurity programmes. African swine fever is covered in four formats — an antigen rapid test and an antibody rapid test for pen-side use, a cold-chain-free nucleic acid test card read in about thirty minutes, and a laboratory real-time PCR kit with an internal control — alongside classical swine fever, PRRS, pseudorabies, porcine circovirus, foot and mouth disease and the enteric viruses, as rapid test kits for the farm and PCR for confirmation and surveillance.

Questions

Which African swine fever test kit do I order, the rapid test or the PCR kit?

Both, at different points in the programme. The African swine fever antigen rapid test, catalogue number 1089271920, runs pen-side on whole blood, serum or plasma and is read by eye in ten to fifteen minutes, so a suspect pen is screened the same hour; the antibody cassette, 1089261920, shows earlier exposure in a surviving herd. The nucleic acid test card gives a molecular answer on site in about thirty minutes with no cold chain. The real-time PCR kit, GZS001, runs in a laboratory on EDTA blood, serum, spleen, lymph node, oral, nasal, anal or environmental swabs with an internal control in every reaction, and that is the format a confirming laboratory expects.

Can a farm screen without a laboratory?

Yes. Cassettes need no instrument, and the molecular card runs on a palm-sized dock with no cold chain, which is what makes pen-side molecular screening practical on site.

Are these tests accepted for official surveillance?

Requirements differ by country. Official programmes usually name a method and an approved laboratory; we supply the specifications and certificates your authority will ask for, and registration remains with the importer of record.

Is African swine fever dangerous to people?

No. African swine fever is a disease of pigs and wild boar and does not infect humans. What it does do is kill pigs quickly and close export markets, which is why the whole value of testing sits in finding it early and in being able to show that a herd is clear.
