Simulation of Spread of African Swine Fever, Including the Effects of Residues from Dead Animals [PDF]

, 2016
To study the spread of African swine fever (ASF) within a pig unit and the impact of unit size on ASF spread, a simulation model was created. In the model, an animal can be in one of the following stages: susceptible, latent, subclinical, clinical or ...

Cholesterol affects African swine fever virus infection [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1998
African swine fever virus (ASFV) enters cells by receptor mediated endocytosis and requires a fusion event between the viral envelope and the limiting membrane of the endosome at low pH. In order to investigate the role of cholesterol in the early stages of ASFV infection, we have studied the effect of the removal of cell and viral membrane cholesterol

Electric Method for the Desulfation of Polysaccharides From Red Microalgae (Porphyridium cruentum) Cultures

Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 2, March 2026.
A non‐destructive method for depleting sulfates from the red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum by directly exposing the growth medium to a moderate electric field has been developed. The reported electric‐field separation method is a simple, straightforward, and non‐toxic means for the direct recovery of desulfated polysaccharides from P.

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 ...

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...
