Swine Vesicular Disease (SVD) is a highly contagious viral disease of pigs. Swine Vesicular Disease Virus (SVDV) is a member of the enterovirus genus in the family Picornaviridae. Although the disease is often mild in nature, it is an O.I.E. list A disease since it is clinically indistinguishable from Foot and Mouth Disease. 
For this reason outbreaks of SVD must be assumed to be Foot and Mouth Disease until laboratory diagnosis proves otherwise.

The Kernel SVDV Ab is a competitive antibody ELISA test.
