Advances in Molecular and Immunological Detection Methods of African Swine Fever
African Swine Fever(ASF)was an epidemic infectious disease of swine caused by African swine fever virus infection.Since ASF was first reported until now,there were still no effective vaccine and treatment methods,so the diagnosis of ASF was particularly important for the prevention and control of ASF.Lots of research had been carried out to develop diagnosis methods of ASF,and series of detection methods had been established.The clinical application of laboratory detection technology had played important roles in the prevention,control and purification of ASF in epidemic countries and regions.The article summarized and reviewed specific and practi-cal methods,molecular and immunological detection methods of ASF,and the merit and demerit were illustrated.In order to provide as-sistance for the early diagnosis and detection of African swine fever and the development of new detection technologies.
