ASF has cost Southeast Asia over $130 billion. Early detection is the only defence.
African Swine Fever kills nearly 100% of infected pigs and there is no vaccine. The only viable strategy is catching it early and containing it fast. The RAPID platform is extending into swine to make that possible.

African Swine Fever
The most devastating swine disease globally. Near 100% fatality in domestic pigs. No vaccine, no treatment — early detection and containment are the only viable strategy. ASF has cost Southeast Asia over $130B since 2018.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome
Causes reproductive failure in sows and respiratory disease in piglets. Endemic across Asia with significant economic losses from reduced fertility, slower growth, and secondary infections. On-site detection critical for herd management.

Foot-and-Mouth Disease
Highly contagious viral disease causing blisters, lameness, and production losses. Triggers trade bans and mass culling. Rapid field detection enables immediate quarantine and prevents regional spread.

The same infrastructure. A new species.
The diagnostic gap in swine is the same gap we closed in shrimp — farms operating without access to molecular diagnostics, relying on symptoms and guesswork. RAPID's platform architecture means we don't need to start from scratch. The devices, the extraction chemistry, and the field workflow are already proven.
Same devices. Same workflow.
RAPID, RAPIDPlus, and RAPIDMax all support the swine assay panel. No new hardware. No retraining. The extraction chemistry and field workflow are identical to shrimp — proven across 9 countries and thousands of field tests.
Built for containment speed.
ASF and FMD require immediate action. Central lab turnaround of 1 day (ASF) means the window for containment has already closed. RAPID delivers results in under 1 hour, on-site, enabling same-day quarantine decisions.
