Why the study?
Due to high mortality and contagious nature of African swine fever, a fast detection method with high sensitivity and specificity was needed to take immediate action against disease spread.
Does a fast quantitative real-time PCR assay accurately and rapidly detect all genotypes of African swine fever virus in clinical samples?
