A Review of Environmental Risk Factors for African Swine Fever in European Wild Boar

Animals, 2021
A detailed understanding of environmental risk factors for African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar will be not only essential for risk assessments but also for timely and spatially informed allocation of resources in order to manage wild boar-targeted ASF

Block Copolymers: Emerging Building Blocks for Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review addresses how block copolymer (BCP) physics and rheology have led to the widespread use of BCPs in advanced additive manufacturing techniques, with particular emphasis on the untapped potential of these nanostructured materials toward achieving multi‐scale architected materials with unique, programmable material properties.

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]

Transbound Emerg Dis
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.

Development of a Novel Synthetic Hydrogel Sealant for Effective Prevention of Liver Resection‐Associated Bile Leakage

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐crosslinking poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel is presented that rapidly solidifies and progressively adheres to tissue, achieving durable sealing of bile leaks. In hepatectomy models, this system prevents postoperative complications more effectively than conventional sealants, highlighting its translational potential as a safe and efficient ...

Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.

Scalable, Bottom‐Up Synthesis of Transition Metal–Doped Quantum Confined, 1D Titanate‐Based Lepidocrocite Nanofilaments, Their Electronic Structures and Oxygen Evolution Reactivity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Quantum‐confined lepidocrocite titanate nanofilaments are doped, bottom‐up, with Mn+2, Fe+2, Co+2, Ni+2, and Cu+2 to tune electronic structure and catalysis. Doping narrows the bandgap—by up to ∼0.8 eV—and extends visible absorption. Ni‐doped filaments accelerate oxygen evolution (319 mV at 10 mA cm−2) and TM‐doped samples rapidly degrade rhodamine 6G (

The African swine fever control zone in South Africa and its current relevance

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2016
African swine fever (ASF) has been reported in South Africa since the early 20th century. The disease has been controlled and confined to northern South Africa over the past 80 years by means of a well-defined boundary line, with strict control measures ...

African swine fever and meat prices fluctuation: An empirical study in China based on TVP-VAR model

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
African swine fever (ASF), a fatal disease outbroken in China in August 2018, has widely attracted social concern especially in the information era. The occurrence of ASF led to an imbalance between supply and demand in pork and other meat markets.
