Swine poxvirus detection kits

Swine poxvirus is the sole member of the Suipoxvirus genus within the subfamily Chordopoxvirinae. Swine poxvirus-induced disease occurs worldwide and is associated with poor sanitation. Swinepox is most severe in pigs up to 4 months of age, in which morbidity may approach 100%, whereas adults usually experience a mild disease with lesions restricted to the skin. Swinepox virus is transmitted most commonly between swine by the bite of the pig louse.
