Detection of a Novel African Swine Fever Virus with Three Large-Fragment Deletions in Genome, China
We reported a novel African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain that had a three-large-fragment deletion and unique variations in genome. This isolate displayed a nonhemadsorbing phenotype and had homogeneous proliferation compared with the wild-type ASFV ...

Establishment and Evaluation of a Multicolor Latex Microsphere-Based Lateral Flow Immunoassay for the Simultaneous Detection of Antibodies Against African and Classical Swine Fever Viruses. [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF), a highly fatal disease often termed the “number one killer” of pigs, presents clinical symptoms indistinguishable from classical swine fever (CSF), such as fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, complicating on‐site differential diagnosis.

African Swine Fever Virus (Asfv) Multigene Families 360 and 530 Genes Promote Infected Macrophage Survival [PDF]
INTRODUCTION. In the swine host ASFV infects cells of the mononuclear-phagocytic system including fixed tissue macrophages (1). Cytopathological changes consistent with apoptotic cell death, including karyorrhexis and chromatin condensation, have been observed in mononuclear cells in tissues of pigs infected with highly virulent ASFV isolates (2). ASFV
