ADV is short for Aleutian disease virus, the pathogen that causes the severe chronic disease in mink and ferret, etc. causing significant decrease in the host growth and reproduction performance. Serology testing is currently the valid methodology for the diagnosis of ADV infection, i.e., ELISA and Counter immune electrophoresis, etc. Due to the deficiency of time-consuming, complicated operation and expensive facilities, farmers and researchers are looking for new ways to simplify the work. Rapid test strip, also known as lateral flow test strip, is the newly developed technology to solve the current problem of ADV diagnosis.
