Der Schweine-MKS-Virus-Serotyp-A-Antikörper-Schnelltest ist ein Lateral-Flow-Immunoassay für den qualitativen Nachweis spezifischer Antikörper gegen den Schweine-MKS-Virus-Serotyp-A (S.FMDV-A) in Schweineserum oder -plasma. Beschreibung Classical Swine Fever (CSF), also known as Hog Cholera, is a highly contagious viral disease caused by Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV). The disease is a major threat to the pig industry. Klinische Symptome Clinical symptoms of classical swine fever can be categorised into acute, sub-acute and chronic forms. Acute swine fever High fever: body temperature rises sharply, often to 41°C or more. Loss of appetite: pigs do not eat or eat less. Skin erythema: red or purple spots on the ears, abdomen and inner limbs. Haemorrhagic symptoms: congestion of the conjunctiva of the eyes, haemorrhagic spots in the nose, mouth and ear roots. Neurological symptoms: dyskinesia, hind limb paralysis, tremor and ataxia. Dyspnoea: coughing, shortness of breath and salivation. Subacute swine fever Fever: elevated body temperature, but not as pronounced as in the acute phase. Chronic symptoms: persistent diarrhoea, weight loss, stunted growth and coarse hair. Mortality rate is low: however, growth of sick pigs is slow and economic losses are severe. Chronic swine fever Prolonged fever: intermittent low-grade fever. Wasting: weight loss and growth retardation in pigs. Haemorrhagic tendency: bleeding from subcutaneous and internal organs. Immunosuppression: easy to complicate other diseases.
