United Kingdom
Virus isolation is based on the inoculation of sample material on susceptible primary cell cultures of porcine origin, monocytes and macrophages cells. The preferred samples for isolation of the ASF virus are whole blood and leucocytes obtained from non-coagulated blood samples or the organs referred to in section A(1). If the ASF virus is present in the sample, it will replicate in the cells and a characteristic cytopathic effect will be produced in the infected cells.
