Rapid and sensitive RPA-Cas12a-fluorescence assay for point-of-care detection of African swine fever virus.

African swine fever (ASF) is a serious contagious disease that causes fatal haemorrhagic fever in domestic and wild pigs, with high morbidity. It has caused devastating damage to the swine industry worldwide, necessitating the focus of attention on detection of the ASF pathogen, the African swine fe...
