Real-Time PCR Kit for the Detection of Classical Swine Fever Virus

Target: single-stranded (+)RNA of the classical swine fever virus.

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) causes classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease of pigs. Infected pigs develop fever, hemorrhages, lethargy, yellowish diarrhea, vomiting, and a purple discoloration of the skin on the ears, lower abdomen, and legs. In addition, it can also lead to neurological signs, reproductive disorders, and abortions. CSF is one of the most significant viral epizootic diseases of pigs. 

In addition to primers for detecting pathogenic RNA, the kit contains an internal extraction control (IEC), which confirms that nucleic acids have been properly extracted from the selected biological sample.
