Classical swine fever (CSF) is a transboundary viral disease affecting swine. The clinical course of disease and the best diagnostic samples for early detection were examined using low, moderate, and highly virulent strains of CSFV inoculated into 8-12 week old domestic pigs. Clinical signs were monitored and recorded. Nasal swabs, tonsil scrapings, blood and tonsils were tested using virus isolation, immunohistochemistry, and real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (rRT-PCR).Severe clinical signs appear 3 days post infection (dpi) with the highly virulent strain, correlating with positive tonsil scrapings, tonsil and blood by virus isolation and rRT-PCR (83-100%), whereas nasal swabs become comparable by 5 dpi (89-100%). The moderate strain caused less severe clinical signs between 5 and 7 dpi, with tonsil scrapings, tonsil and blood positive by 7 dpi (83-100%), and nasal swabs were comparable at 10 dpi (67-90%). The low virulent strain showed mild clinical signs at 7 dpi, with blood, tonsil and tonsil scrapings positive by virus isolation and rRT-PCR. Except for one sample at 10 dpi, nasal swabs remained negative throughout the course of infection. This study indicates that irrespective of virulence, whole blood and tonsil scrapings are the sample of choice for early detection of CSFV in live pigs. Published by Elsevier B.V.
