Deletion of CD2-Like (CD2v) and C-Type Lectin-Like (EP153R) Genes from African Swine Fever Virus Georgia-∆9GL Abrogates Its Effectiveness as an Experimental Vaccine

Viruses, 2020
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is currently the most dreaded infectious disease affecting the global swine production industry. There is no commercial vaccine available, making the culling of infected animals the current solution to control outbreaks ...

Dihydromyricetin inhibits African swine fever virus replication by downregulating toll-like receptor 4-dependent pyroptosis in vitro

Veterinary Research, 2023
African swine fever (ASF), caused by ASF virus (ASFV) infection, poses a huge threat to the pork industry owing to ineffective preventive and control measures. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop strategies, including antiviral drugs targeting ASFV,

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 ...

Computational insights in CD58 binding to ASFV CD2v and in silico optimization of nanobody designs against the interface

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: African swine fever (ASF) continues to hamper pork production worldwide. In addition to vaccines, there is a need to develop curative therapeutics, such as highly-specific antibodies or nanobodies, against immunogenic proteins with important

Generation and characterization of a monoclonal antibody against an African swine fever virus protein encoded by the A137R gene

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
The ongoing African swine fever (ASF) pandemic continues to have a major impact on global pork production and trade. Since ASF cannot be distinguished from other swine hemorrhagic fevers clinically, ASF-specific laboratory diagnosis is critical. Thus ASF

Deletion of the EP296R Gene from the Genome of Highly Virulent African Swine Fever Virus Georgia 2010 Does Not Affect Virus Replication or Virulence in Domestic Pigs

Viruses, 2022
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a lethal disease (ASF) in domestic pigs, African swine fever (ASF). ASF is currently producing a pandemic affecting pig production across Eurasia, leading to a shortage of food accessibility.
