Swine
vesicular disease (SVD) is a contagious viral disease of pigs characterized
by fever and vesicles in the mouth and on the snout, feet and teats. The
illness may be subclinical, mild or severe, but rarely fatal. The importance
of this disease stems from the fact that it cannot be clinically distinguished
from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Outbreaks of SVD are therefore assumed to
be FMD until laboratory tests prove otherwise.

Serology is used for SVD surveillance and export certification. While virus
neutralization is the prescribed test for international trade, it is
time-consuming, and 2-3 days are required to obtain results. In contrast,
results may be obtained by ELISA in less than 2 hours.

IDvet
has developed the ID
Screen® Swine Vesicular Disease Competition ELISA. The method
used in this kit is described in the OIE Manual for Terrestrial Animals,
Chapter 2.3.1. It is based on the ELISA developed by Brocchi et al (1) and is
standardized to detect the Primary Reference Serum EU-RS4.
