Introduction:The commercial PRRS Oral Fluids ELISA is a highly sensitive assay, particularly when detecting PRRSV exposure through antibody monitoring in large swine populations. Prior to the launch of this commercial assay, a modified protocol was developed for oral fluids using the existing PRRSV antibody serum test (PRRS X3). Although the modified test also has excellent specificity and sensiti ...

Introduction: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) represent new threats to the swine industry. To aid in early detection of virus, monitor shedding, or differentiate viral species, real-time PCR has proven a useful diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to measure the sensitivity of real-time PCR assays for the detection of PEDV and PDCoV on field sample ...
