Transmission routes of African swine fever virus to domestic pigs: current knowledge and future research directions [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) is a major threat to the pig industry in Europe. Since 2007, ASF outbreaks have been ongoing in the Caucasus, Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries, causing severe economic losses for many pig farmers and pork producers.

Riding apoptotic bodies for cell–cell transmission by African swine fever virus
Significance ASFV is a leading threat to the world pork production and has evolved a mechanism to avoid antibody neutralization, contributing to viral persistence within infected pigs. We report here that ASFV highjacks the cellular efferocytosis pathway

African Swine Fever Virus Guanylyltransferase
The gene coding for the guanylyltransferase of African swine fever virus has been identified and sequenced. The gene, designated NP868R, is located within fragments EcoRI N' and D of the virus genome (BA71V strain) and encodes a protein with a predicted molecular mass of 99.9 kDa that shares significant similarity with the large subunit of both ...

Autophagy impairment by African swine fever virus
African swine fever is a devastating disease of domestic swine and wild boar caused by a large double-stranded DNA virus that encodes for more than 150 open reading frames. There is no licensed vaccine for the disease and the most promising current candidates are modified live viruses that have been attenuated by deletion of virulence factors.

Experimental pig-to-pig transmission dynamics for African swine fever virus, Georgia 2007/1 strain [PDF]
African swine fever virus (ASFV) continues to cause outbreaks in domestic pigs and wild boar in Eastern European countries. To gain insights into its transmission dynamics, we estimated the pig-to-pig basic reproduction number (R 0) for the Georgia 2007 ...

African Swine Fever Virus MGF-505-7R Negatively Regulates cGAS–STING-Mediated Signaling Pathway
Key Points ASFV MGF-505-7R inhibits cGAS–STING signaling. MGF-505-7R–deficient ASFV was fully attenuated in pigs at a dose of 10 HAD50. Visual Abstract African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a devastating infectious disease in pigs, severely threatening the

African swine fever virus morphogenesis
This review summarizes recent structural and molecular biology studies related to the morphogenesis of African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASFV possesses icosahedral morphology and is constituted by four concentric layers: the central nucleoid, the core shell, the inner envelope and the icosahedral capsid.
