The VNT is the most sensitive and reliable test to detect antibodies against classical swine fever virus. Therefore, it is recommended for the serological examination of a single animal as well as on a herd basis. However, cross-neutralising antibodies specific for ruminant pestiviruses infections of pigs may be detected by this test.

The VNT for the detection of antibodies against BVD virus and BD virus follow the same principals mentioned above and are conducted for the differential diagnosis of classical swine fever.
