We describe a horizontal survey of African swine fever virus (ASFV) prevalence and risk factors associated with virus infection in domestic pigs in two contrasting production systems in Kenya. A free range/tethering, low input production system in Ndhiwa District of South-western Kenya is compare...

A highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR method was developed for the reliable and rapid detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV). The method uses a commercial Universal Probe Library (UPL) probe combined with a specifically designed primer set to amplify an ASFV DNA fragment within the...

Molecular Diagnosis of African Swine Fever by a New Real-Time PCR Using Universal Probe Library
The presence of antibodies against African swine fever (ASF), a complex fatal notifiable OIE disease of swine, is always indicative of previous infection, since there is no vaccine that is currently used in the field. The early appearance and subsequent long-term persistence of antibodies combine...

Twelve complete African swine fever virus (ASFV) genome sequences are currently publicly available and these include only one sequence from East Africa. We describe genome sequencing and annotation of a recent pig-derived p72 genotype IX, and a tick-derived genotype X isolate from Kenya using the...

Samples from infected domestic pigs associated with an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in three districts of central Uganda in 2007 were confirmed as being infected with African swine fever virus (ASFV) using a P72 gene-based polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) assay combined with...

Desde marzo 1991 a marzo 1992 se sembraron cada semana 15 muestras de material fecal fresco de equinos adultos en un potrero, determinando el numero de huevos de estrongilidos por gramo (phg). Despues de 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 y 32 semanas de permanencia en el medio se determino...

Se necropsiaron 31 caninos, sin historia clinica de patologias hepaticas o renales. Previo a la eutanasia, realizada con solucion sobresaturada de tiopental sodico, se obtuvo una muestra de plasma; una vez efectuada la eutanasia, se obtuvo una muestra de humor acuoso desde el ojo derecho y otra 2...
