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.

Duration of immunity following infection with moderately virulent ASFV. [PDF]

PLoS Pathog
AbstractAfrican swine fever virus (ASFV) poses a significant threat to pork production and wild pig populations worldwide. The study assessed the long-term fate and immunity of animals recovering from a moderately virulent ASFV infection, following the principles of a duration of immunity study for live vaccines.

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
