African Swine Fever Virus LAMP Detection Kit
The African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious and lethal hemorrhagic disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boar. Caused by a large double-stranded DNA virus, ASFV causes near-100% mortality in infected herds with no approved vaccine available globally. The disease poses a severe threat to Australia's pork industry, valued at over $5 billion annually. While Australia remains free of ASFV, biosecurity agencies maintain strict import controls to prevent incursion. The virus is endemic across sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals, contaminated feed, or soft ticks of the Ornithodoros species.
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is a molecular biology technique that copies DNA or RNA at a single, constant temperature. By eliminating the rapid heat cycling required by traditional PCR, this method relies on specialized strand-displacement polymerases to unzip and replicate genetic material.
This biological approach removes the need for expensive, bulky thermal cyclers, allowing assays to run on simple, low-cost heating equipment. Delivering highly sensitive results in just 20 to 30 minutes, isothermal amplification provides a fast, affordable, and exceptionally portable solution for field testing and decentralized point-of-care diagnostics.
The African Swine Fever Virus LAMP Detection Kit simplifies detection of African Swine Fever Virus nucleic acid by amplifying target DNA at a constant temperature.
- All-in-one box: reagents and plasticware included
- Results in under 30 min
Platform: Genie LITE, Genie III and Genie HT
Application: Nucleic Acid detection of the African Swine Fever Virus
Target Analyte: Viral DNA
Technology: LAMP
