Swine fever: classical swine fever and African swine fever
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2002Because of the clinical and pathologic similarity to common endemic diseases, introduction of CSFV or ASFV strains of moderate to low virulence represents the greatest risk to North American swine herds. Producers, veterinarians, and diagnosticians should increase their awareness of these devastating diseases and request specific diagnostic testing ...

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large, intracytoplasmically-replicating DNA arbovirus and the sole member of the family Asfarviridae. It is the etiologic agent of a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease of domestic swine and therefore extensively studied to elucidate the structures, genes, and mechanisms affecting viral replication in the host, virus-

Immunology of African Swine Fever
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1972SUMMARY In areas where African swine fever (asf) has become enzootic in domestic swine, subacute and chronic infections are no longer uncommon. Virus carriers may be increasingly involved in the maintenance and spread of the disease. A safe and satisfactory vaccine has not been developed.

Publisher Summary African swine fever (ASF) is a tickborne and contagious disease of swine, caused by a large icosahedral cytoplasmic DNA virus, which has been tentatively classified as an Iridouirus. ASF was first described in a comprehensive report by Montgomery in 1921. In this report he described the outbreaks of the disease in Kenya between 1909

African swine fever (ASF) was first described in 1921 by Montgomery, who reported several disease outbreaks of domestic pigs in Kenya since 1910 with a mortality close to 100%. Montgomery recognized the viral nature of the disease, its likely transmission by wild swine which probably acted as virus carriers, and the lack of protection by passive ...

The challenge of African swine fever
Veterinary Record, 2018Perhaps it is my age, but I was amused by part of the editorial on ‘The risk from African swine fever’ ( VR , 3 November 2018, vol 183, p 515) by Suzanne Jarvis. Jarvis referred to the prescient commentary piece by Chris Oura in 2013 on the risk posed by the African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in Eastern Europe, in which he warned that care should be ...

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1984
Detailed field surveys were undertaken in selected areas in the Central Region of Malawi starting in August 1981. The areas chosen following verbal enquiries and a questionnaire had recently suspected cases of pig disease. Each village in these selected areas was visited and each individual pig farmer asked how many pigs he owned, whether any had died ...

The causative agent of African swine fever (ASF) is an icosahedral virus 175 to 215 mv, in diameter. It is sensitive to lipid solvents and contains deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Thus far, it appears to have no close relatives among other viruses that infect mammals.

African swine fever epidemic in China
Veterinary Record, 2019African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease. Infection with ASF virus (ASFV) is reported to result in almost 100 per cent mortality in pigs.1 Recently, an outbreak of ASFV in China caused serious concern for the government.2,3 We describe this epidemic of ASF in China between August 2018 and January 2019, based on the public data released

African Swine Fever: An Epidemiological Update
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2012African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most important swine diseases, mainly because of its significant sanitary and socioeconomic consequences. This review gives an update on the epidemiology of the disease and reviews key issues and strategies to improve control of the disease and promote its eradication.
