Establishment of a Tetra‐Primer ARMS‐PCR Assay to Discriminate Genotypes I and II African Swine Fever Viruses [PDF]

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The African swine fever virus (ASFV), particularly the genotypes I and II strains that have spread beyond Africa, continues to threaten global swine production and food security. Currently, African swine fever (ASF) control strategies rely heavily on biosecurity measures underpinned with molecular diagnostics.

Identification and utility of innate immune system evasion mechanisms of ASFV

Virus Research, 2013
The interferon (IFN) system is an early innate anti-virus host defense mechanism that takes place shortly after entry of the pathogen and long before the onset of adaptive immunity. Thus, African swine fever virus (ASFV), as an acute and persistent virus in pigs, is predicted to have evolved multiple genes for the manipulation and evasion of interferon.

Recombinant Vaccine Strain ASFV-G-Δ9GL/ΔUK Produced in the IPKM Cell Line Is Genetically Stable and Efficacious in Inducing Protection in Pigs Challenged with the Virulent African Swine Fever Virus Field Isolate Georgia 2010

Pathogens
We have previously reported that the recombinant African Swine Fever (ASF) vaccine candidate ASFV-G-Δ9GL/ΔUK efficiently induces protection in domestic pigs challenged with the virulent strain Georgia 2010 (ASFV-G).

Evaluation of the Presence of ASFV in Wolf Feces Collected from Areas in Poland with ASFV Persistence [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
African swine fever (ASF), caused by a DNA virus (ASFV) belonging to genus Asfivirus of the Asfarviridae family, is one of the most threatening diseases of suids. During last few years, it has spread among populations of wild boars and pigs in countries of Eastern and Central Europe, causing huge economical losses.

A review of some important viral diseases of wild boars [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2021
Wild boars are one of the widest-ranging mammals worldwide and represent reservoirs for many important viruses. Disease outbreaks in domestic swine are often described as a consequence of contact with wild boars, and traditional rearing conditions are a ...

Patterns of ASFV Transmission in Domestic Pigs in Serbia [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
The first case of African swine fever in domestic pigs in Serbia was in 2019. The following year, the disease was confirmed in wild boar. Thenceforth, ASF has been continuously reported in both wild and domestic pigs. The outbreaks in domestic pigs could not be linked directly to wild boars, even though wild boars were endemically infected, and ...

Inhibition of African swine fever virus replication by β-glucan

Open Veterinary Journal, 2022
Background: African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most important diseases in pigs because of its effects on all ages and breeds. To date, the commercial vaccines and drugs for prevention of ASF are lacking in the market and the survival of ASFV in ...

The Structure of ASFV Advances the Fight against the Disease [PDF]

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2020
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative pathogen of the recent African swine fever epidemic, with devastating impacts on economy. A recent study by Wang et al. reveals the multilayer structural details of ASFV at near-atomic resolution, which provides interesting insights about giant virus assembly and paves the way for vaccine development.

Molecular Characterization of ASFV and Differential Diagnosis of Erysipelothrix in ASFV-Infected Pigs in Pig Production Regions in Cameroon

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
African swine fever and swine erysipelas are two devastating diseases with similar manifestations ravaging the domestic pig industry. Only a single phylogenetic study has been carried out in Cameroon, and neither an extensive genotyping aimed at identifying the different serotypes nor has an appropriate differential diagnosis of different species of ...

ASF -survivors’ sera do not inhibit African swine fever virus replication in vitro

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2022
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes one of the most dangerous diseases of pigs and wild boar – African swine fever (ASF). Since its second introduction into Europe (in 2007), the disease has been spreading consistently, and now ASF-free European ...
