African swine fever (ASFV) (P72 gene, animal samples) Nucleic Acid Test Kit (Lyophilized)

Clinical Applications

1. Disease Surveillance：In swine farms, regular screening of pigs using the ASFV (P72 gene, animal samples) nucleic acid detection reagent is essential. By testing blood, tissue, or other relevant samples from pigs, veterinarians and farmers can detect the presence of ASFV at an early stage, even in asymptomatic carriers. This allows for the timely implementation of isolation and quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the virus within the farm. For example, in large - scale commercial swine farms with thousands of pigs, routine testing can identify potential outbreaks before they cause widespread infection.

2. Epidemiological Investigation：During an ASFV outbreak or in regions with a high risk of the disease, the nucleic acid detection reagent plays a vital role in epidemiological investigations. It helps in mapping the spread of the virus by analyzing samples from different areas, pig populations, and time points. By determining the genetic characteristics of the virus based on the P72 gene detection, researchers can trace the origin and transmission routes of the virus, which is crucial for formulating effective prevention and control strategies. For instance, in a region where an ASFV outbreak has occurred, testing samples from neighboring farms can help identify the extent of the virus's spread.

3. Quarantine and Import/Export Control：At border checkpoints and quarantine facilities, the ASFV (P72 gene, animal samples) nucleic acid detection reagent is used to screen pigs and pork products being imported or exported. This strict screening helps prevent the international spread of ASFV, protecting the swine industries of different countries. If a batch of imported live pigs tests positive for ASFV using this reagent, appropriate measures can be taken, such as quarantine, culling, or rejection of the shipment, to safeguard the domestic pig population.

4. Research and Vaccine Development Support：The detection reagent provides valuable support for scientific research on ASFV. It enables researchers to study the genetic variation and evolution of the virus by analyzing the P72 gene in clinical samples. This knowledge is essential for the development of new diagnostic methods, vaccines, and antiviral drugs. For example, in vaccine development research, the detection reagent can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental vaccines by monitoring the presence of the virus in vaccinated pigs.
