Abstract:

Two real-time RT-PCR kits, developed by LSI (TaqVet CSF) and ADIAGENE (Adiavet CSF), obtained an agreement to be commercialised in France, subject to conditions, defined by the French Classical Swine Fever (CSF) National Reference Laboratory. The producers were asked to introduce an internal control to check the RNA extraction efficacy. The different criteria assessed were sensitivity, “pestivirus specificity”, reproducibility and ease of handling, using 189 different samples. These samples were either CSFV inactivated strains or blood/serum/organs collected from CSFV experimentally infecte…
