No Experimental Evidence of Co-Feeding Transmission of African Swine Fever Virus between Ornithodoros Soft Ticks

Pathogens, 2020
Ornithodoros soft ticks are the only known vector and reservoir of the African swine fever virus, a major lethal infectious disease of Suidae. The co-feeding event for virus transmission and maintenance among soft tick populations has been poorly ...

Scanning transmission electron tomography to study virus assembly: Review for the retirement of Paul Walther

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this short and popular review, we summarise some of our findings analysing the replication cycles of large DNA viruses using scanning transmission electron tomography (STEM tomography) that we applied in the laboratory of Paul Walther. It is also a tribute to a very kind and expert scientist, who recently retired.

Managing and mitigating future public health risks: Planetary boundaries, global catastrophic risk, and inclusive wealth

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

Identification of a novel B-cell epitope of the African swine fever virus p34 protein and development of an indirect ELISA for the detection of serum antibodies

Frontiers in Microbiology
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease caused by the African swine fever virus that can be highly transmitted and lethal in domestic pigs. In the absence of a vaccine, effective diagnosis is critical for minimizing the virus’s spread.

Hepatitis A and E Virus Seroprevalence and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Levels in Rural Areas of Khammouane Province, Lao People's Democratic Republic: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT There have been several Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) interventions in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). We aimed to determine the relationship of exposure to two faecal‐orally transmitted pathogens, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV), with WASH levels and other factors.

Structural insights into the DNA topoisomerase II of the African swine fever virus

Nature Communications
Type II topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that play a pivotal role in modulating the topological configuration of double-stranded DNA. These topoisomerases are required for DNA metabolism and have been extensively studied in both prokaryotic and ...

Facilitating crRNA Design by Integrating DNA Interaction Features of CRISPR‐Cas12a System

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
This study introduces a novel approach combining molecular dynamics simulations and neural network modeling to predict the Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity. By integrating sequence and molecular interaction features, prediction accuracy is enhanced, and identify key features affecting Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity.

Purification and properties of African swine fever virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1985
We describe a method for African swine fever (ASF) virus purification based on equilibrium centrifugation in Percoll density gradients of extracellular virions produced in infected VERO cells that yielded about 15 +/- 9% recovery of the starting infectious virus particles.

More Timely Response to Outbreaks of Zoonotic Compared to Non‐Zoonotic Diseases in Animals in Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
A timeliness metrics analysis study was carried out in Tanzania. A total of 98 disease outbreaks were recorded. The time taken to detect, verify and respond to zoonotic diseases was shorter than the time for non‐zoonotic diseases. More investment should be done for the timely management of disease in Tanzania.
