Detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) antibodies in pigs in Taraba state north east Nigeria

Sokoto Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2015
A serological study was conducted between 2011 and 2013 to detect the presence of antibodies to African swine fever virus (ASFV) in Pigs in Taraba State, north eastern Nigeria. Sixty (60) pig farms were studied. Questionnaires (N=885) consisting of sections related to the farmer and the animal were distributed and blood samples taken to analyze for the

African swine fever virus vaccine strain Asfv-G-∆I177l reverts to virulence and negatively affects reproductive performance

npj Vaccines
Abstract ASFV-G-ΔI177L is a modified-live African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain that has been incorporated into a commercially available vaccine. Its safety in pregnant sows and genetic stability in an in vivo passaging experiment were investigated. Upon inoculation of two pregnant sows with ASFV-G-ΔI177L, one developed moderate ASF-related

The role of wild hosts (wild pigs and ticks) in the epidemiology of African swine fever in West Africa and Madagascar [PDF]

, 2007
African swine fever (ASF) adversely affects pig production in Sub-Saharan Africa. In southern and eastern Africa, the virus is maintained in populations of wild pigs (Phacochoerus africanus) and soft ticks from the Genus Ornithodoros.
