Investigation of the First African Swine Fever Outbreak in a Domestic Pig Farm in Hong Kong
In this study, we describe the epidemiological investigation of the first African swine fever (ASF) outbreak in a local domestic pig farm in the New Territories of Hong Kong in 2021. In the outbreak farm, several affected pigs presented clinical and pathological signs consistent with ASF, while the remaining pigs showed nonspecific clinical signs or ...

Molecular Characterization of African Swine Fever Viruses Circulating in Can Tho City, Vietnam
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease in domestic and feral pigs. Since 2018, the disease has spread and caused large socioeconomic consequences to the pig industry in several Asian countries including China, Vietnam, and South Korea.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a lethal swine pathogen, and there is no effective vaccine or treatment available for ASFV infection. Recently, the occurrence of ASFV genotype I and genotype II natural mutants that manifest as subacute, longer‐incubation, or persistent infections poses threats to preventing ASFV infection.

We report the development of a novel method for sub‐grouping genotype II African swine fever virus based on the intergenic region between the A179L and A137R genes. We have identified an insertion or deletion of an 11‐nucleotide sequence that may help analysis of the evolution and relationships between geographically separated outbreaks.

African swine fever vaccine: Turning a dream into reality
Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is currently threatening the swine industry at a global level. The disease originated in Africa has spread to Europe, Asia and Oceania, since 2007, reaching a pandemic dimension. Currently, the spread of ASF is unstoppable and that the development of a safe and effective vaccine is urgently required.

African Swine Fever Virus CD2v protein promotes β-Interferon expression and apoptosis in swine cells [PDF]
ABSTRACTAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a disease of swine characterized by massive lymphocyte depletion in lymphatic tissues due to apoptosis of B and T cells, most likely triggered by proteins or factors secreted by infected adjacent macrophages. Here we describe a role for the ASF virus (ASFV) protein CD2v in apoptosis induction in lymphocytes. CD2v is

African swine fever virus (ASFV), a highly pathogenic large DNA virus, is the cause of African swine fever worldwide. The ASFV virulence gene EP402R encodes CD2v, a structural protein that plays an important role in the ASFV infection process. In this study, a CHO-S cell line stably expressing the extracellular region of CD2v was generated and ...
