African Swine Fever Epidemiology and Control [PDF]
African swine fever is a devastating disease that can result in death in almost all infected pigs. The continuing spread of African swine fever from Africa to Europe and recently to the high–pig production countries of China and others in Southeast Asia threatens global pork production and food security.

African Swine Fever Virus: A Review [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease of swine which causes high mortality, approaching 100%, in domestic pigs. ASF is caused by a large, double stranded DNA virus, ASF virus (ASFV), which replicates predominantly in the cytoplasm of macrophages and is the only member of the Asfarviridae family, genus Asfivirus.

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling Identifies a Core Gene-Metabolite Axis Driving African Swine Fever Virus Replication in the Soft Tick Ornithodoros lahorensis. [PDF]
Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of Ornithodoros lahorensis during African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection reveals that ASFV rewires host purine/pyrimidine metabolism, lipid metabolism, and energy metabolism. A core gene‐metabolite regulatory axis consisting of 12 key genes and 8 signature metabolites is identified to support viral genome ...

Detection of a Novel African Swine Fever Virus with Three Large-Fragment Deletions in Genome, China
We reported a novel African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain that had a three-large-fragment deletion and unique variations in genome. This isolate displayed a nonhemadsorbing phenotype and had homogeneous proliferation compared with the wild-type ASFV ...
