Abstract

Worldwide, Central Reference Laboratory systems are being overwhelmed by the volume of African Swine Fever (ASF) samples being submitted. The surge volume is causing substantial delays in the reporting which confounds real-time decision making for control efforts. Here we demonstrate results of cutting edge technological developments that facilitate on site testing for Food and Mouth Disease (FMD) and African Swine Fever (ASF) viruses.
