Article Synopsis
- African swine fever virus (ASFV) has been in China for over two years, but its changes are unclear.
- Researchers studied 22 different ASF viruses in seven provinces from June to December 2020, finding that they had mutations compared to an earlier version from 2018.

Background: Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an acute and highly contagious enteric disease characterized by severe enteritis, vomiting and watery diarrhea in swine. Recently, the outbreak of the epidemic disease has been a serious problem in swine industry. The objective of this study is to develop a rapid, sensitive, and real-time reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method for the detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in less equipped laboratories.
