Aujeszky’s disease is a contagious viral disease caused by a herpesvirus called Pseudorabies virus (PRV). The most common form is an acute febrile syndrome that mainly affects pigs (the main reservoir for the virus), though many other animal species are also susceptible. 

The virus spreads to the airways, nervous system, and in pregnant sows, the fetus. It is widespread throughout the world and its effects have considerable economic impact.

The Kernel PRV gE ELISA is a qualitative blocking ELISA for the detection of antibodies in the glycoprotein E (gE) of the Pseudorabies virus (PRV) in pig sera. 
The Kernel PRV gB ELISA is a blocking ELISA that detects antibodies against the Pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein B in pig sera.
