Protocols for the Diagnosis of Pig Viral Diseases

Pig Viral Disease Diagnosis Protocols for the Diagnosis of Pig Viral Diseases is a practical laboratory reference focused on modern molecular and immunological methods for detecting porcine viral pathogens. It presents protocols for antigen and antibody detection, including PCR, ddPCR, PSR, CPA, ELISA, PNA-based methods, aptamer tools, and lateral flow assays. The book is designed to support researchers, scientists, and students working in veterinary virology and pig health diagnostics.
