Key result
The ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay achieved a sensitivity of 0.04 fg/µL and 100% specificity for the rapid detection of African swine fever virus within 35 minutes.
Why the study?
African swine fever lacks effective vaccines and treatments, making rapid and accurate detection methods crucial for effective disease prevention and control.
Does the ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay accurately and rapidly detect African swine fever virus?
Population
Simulated samples and a range of pathogens including other porcine pathogens

Should not yet change farm or slaughterhouse ASFV protocols; leaves open field validation versus PCR.
Does the ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay accurately and rapidly detect African swine fever virus?
The ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay provides a rapid, highly sensitive, and specific method for detecting African swine fever virus, suitable for use in slaughterhouses and farms.
Mao et al. (2025) studied African swine fever (ASF). ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay was evaluated on Sensitivity and specificity for ASFV detection. The ASFV-LAMP-LFB assay achieved a sensitivity of 0.04 fg/µL and 100% specificity for the rapid detection of African swine fever virus within 35 minutes.
