Dr. Clayton Johnson & Dr. Attila Farkas from Carthage Veterinary Service, LTD discuss recent developments with African Swine Fever (ASF) testing programs here in the United States. Dr. Attila explains how he was able to leverage his network of swine veterinarians in Romania to partner with USDA, National Pork Board & Plum Island Animal Disease Center to collect the already approved whole blood samples as well as oral fluids from Romanian swine farms undergoing an acute ASF outbreak. These samples will be transferred from the Romanian team to the United States for testing at Plum Island with the goal of helping us understand if oral fluids can be utilized as part of a comprehensive ASF testing program here in the United States. Learn about how these samples may have a dramatic impact on ASF control not only in the United States but around the world.
