Abstract
The highly varying picture of both African swine fever (ASF) and hog cholera (HC) makes a diagnosis of either disease on mere clinical and pathological grounds often impossible, particularly in subacute, chronic and atypical cases. Differences in clinical signs and post mortem lesions that might occur in acute and peracute outbreaks of the two diseases are listed. A tentative diagnosis of either ASF or HC should be confirmed by laboratory methods. A flow chart for differential diagnosis outlines the laboratory tests available and the timing at which results may be expected. A preliminary diagnosis of ASF in a hitherto free country should be based on the outcome of two different methods and be confirmed by an internationally recognized reference laboratory.
