Pathogenicity and virulence of African swine fever virus

Virulence
African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease with a high impact on the pork industry worldwide. ASF virus (ASFV) is a very complex pathogen, the sole member of the family Asfaviridae, which induces a state of immune suppression in the host through ...

African swine fever virus – variants on the rise [PDF]

Emerging Microbes & Infections, 2022
African swine fever virus (ASFV), a large and complex DNA-virus circulating between soft ticks and indigenous suids in sub-Saharan Africa, has made its way into swine populations from Europe to Asia. This virus, causing a severe haemorrhagic disease (African swine fever) with very high lethality rates in wild boar and domestic pigs, has demonstrated a ...

African swine fever virus

Trends in Microbiology
African swine fever virus (ASFV), the cause of African swine fever (ASF), is one of the most complex viruses affecting domestic and wild pigs. In domestic pigs and Eurasian wild boar, the disease is highly lethal and has similarities to viral hemorrhagic

Comparative Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequence of African Swine Fever Virus Belgium 2018/1 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We analyzed the whole-genome sequence of African swine fever virus Belgium 2018/1. The strain fits into the European genotype II (>99.98% identity). The high-coverage sequence revealed 15 differences compared with an improved African swine fever virus ...

Whole-genome sequencing of African swine fever virus from wild boars in the Kaliningrad region reveals unique and distinguishing genomic mutations

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionSince the first report of outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in Georgia in 2007, the disease has expanded into Europe, Russia, and Asia, spreading rapidly via contact with infected animals including domestic pigs and wild boars.

Comparative Analysis of Full Genome Sequences of African Swine Fever Virus Isolates Taken from Wild Boars in Russia in 2019

Pathogens, 2021
In this study, we report on the full genome phylogenetic analysis of four ASFV isolates obtained from wild boars in Russia. These samples originated from two eastern and two western regions of Russia in 2019.

Genetic Characterization of the Central Variable Region in African Swine Fever Virus Isolates in the Russian Federation from 2013 to 2017

Pathogens, 2022
African swine fever virus (ASFV), classified as genotype II, was introduced into Georgia in 2007, and from there, it spread quickly and extensively across the Caucasus to Russia, Europe and Asia. The molecular epidemiology and evolution of these isolates

Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses after Immunisation with Low Virulent African Swine Fever Virus in the Large White Inbred Babraham Line and Outbred Domestic Pigs

Viruses, 2022
African swine fever virus is currently present in all of the world’s continents apart from Antarctica, and efforts to control the disease are hampered by the lack of a commercially available vaccine.
