Abstract
- African swine fever virus (ASF) has circulated in Vietnam since 2018, causing significant losses to the pig industry. Quick, accurate diagnosis of African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection is crucial for controlling the disease. The detection of the virus in piglets with congenital tremors is described in this paper. ASFV was detected in brain tissues by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Classical swine fever virus, porcine parvovirus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and pseudorabies virus were not detected by PCR, suggesting that the ASFV was the cause of these neurological signs.
