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.

Protection Evaluation of a New Attenuated ASFV by Deletion of the <i>L60L</i> and <i>CD2v</i> Genes against Homologous Challenge. [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) is an acute infectious disease with a high mortality rate in both domestic and wild boars. Commercial vaccines or antiviral drugs for ASF were not available due to the complex diversity of the structure and genome of its pathogen African swine fever virus (ASFV).

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

Abstract African swine fever virus variants with different numbers of a 10‐bp tandem repeat were isolated in South Korea soon after being identified in wild boar. The short emergence periods and sympatric distributions within a narrow geographical region suggest that the variants were sporadically generated in the pre‐existing viral population.

African swine fever virus CD2v and C-type lectin gene loci mediate serological specificity
African swine fever (ASF) is an emerging disease threat for the swine industry worldwide. No ASF vaccine is available and progress is hindered by lack of knowledge concerning the extent of ASF virus (ASFV) strain diversity and the viral antigens responsible for protection in the pig.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes African swine fever (ASF), a devastating hemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs and wild boars. Currently, the MGF505R, EP402R (CD2v) and I177L gene-deleted ASFV strains were confirmed to be the ideal vaccine ...
