The virotype CSFV RT-PCR Kit allows the rapid and reliable detection of RNA from Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) in samples from pigs and wild boar.
Rapid and specific detection of RNA from CSFV (target in the non 5’ UTR region)
Identification of all known CSFV strains
RT-PCR run time of less than 2 hours
Easy-to-use single reaction mix containing internal control
Due to its high sensitivity virotype CSFV RT-PCR Kit can be used with individual or pooled serum, plasma, EDTA-stabilized blood and tissue samples
Can be performed in one cycler run with virotype ASFV PCR Kit
Classical Swine Fever (Virus)
Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is economically one of the most important viral infectious diseases of swine. CSF is widespread in domestic pig and wild boar populations. CSF is an internationally notifiable animal disease. The causative agent, Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV), is a single-stranded RNA virus and a member of the genus pestivirus which belongs to the Flaviviridae family like Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in cattle and Border Disease Virus in Sheep.
