The Official Commission for the Control and Eradication of African Swine Fever Outbreaks reported that the country has the necessary technology to carry out molecular biology diagnostics, which allows for the detection of the ASF virus and the delivery of test results to pig farmers in less than 24 hours.
The studies are carried out through the Central Veterinary Laboratory (LAVECEN).
The director of LAVECEN, Griselda Lopez, said that this laboratory has the necessary reagents and supplies to perform all the tests required by pig farmers throughout the country, so that the country no longer needs to send samples abroad, reducing the time in the delivery of test results.
