Introduction
African swine fever virus (ASF) is of major concern because of its high mortality rate, its severe economic impact, and its recent rapid geographic expansion. Prevention and control of ASFV is complicated by the absence of effective vaccines. Serology is useful for ASFV diagnosis and surveillance because antibodies are
a definitive indication of infection and are detectable for
a prolonged period of time (1).
An earlier study showed that ASFV antibodies could be detected in oral fluids (2) and suggested that oral fluids could serve as a suitable specimen for ASFV surveillance. The long-term aim of this line of research is to continue the development of an ASFV antibody ELISA. Several ASFV proteins have been identified as
highly antigenic, e.g., p72, p30 and p54, and others (3). In this study, a recombinant p30 (rp30) polypeptide was selected evaluated in an indirect ELISA format
