While PCR detects active ASFV infection, this ELISA kit detects antibodies against the virus's p30 protein, identifying animals that have previously been exposed, useful for herd-level surveillance and understanding the extent of past exposure in a region. Given ASF's severe impact on swine populations and trade, antibody surveillance plays an important supporting role alongside PCR-based active infection testing. Shelf life 12 months, store at 2-8°C.
