The NH/P68 non-haemadsorbing (non-HAD) African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolate contains frameshift mutations in the EP402R and adjacent EP153R genes. These encode, respectively, the protein (CD2v) that is required for the haemadsorption (HAD) of swine erythrocytes to ASFV-infected cells and a C-type lectin protein.

Live Attenuated African Swine Fever Viruses as Ideal Tools to Dissect the Mechanisms Involved in Cross-Protection [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) has become the major threat for the global swine industry. Furthermore, the epidemiological situation of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in some endemic regions of Sub-Saharan Africa is worse than ever, with multiple virus ...

Molecular characterization of African swine fever viruses from Burkina Faso, 2018
Background African swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease of domestic and wild swine. ASF has been endemic in Burkina Faso since 2003. In October 2018, substantial pig deaths occurred in Ouagadougou and two neighboring municipalities in central

Abstract Three recombinant plasmid constructs, expressing chimeric proteins containing human ubiquitin fused to an ectodomain of one of the potentially protective proteins (p30, p54 and CD2v) of the attenuated MK-200 strain of African swine fever virus (ASFV), were created as potential inductors of specific antiviral cellular immunity ...

Genetic characterisation of six novel African swine fever viruses isolated from a pig, warthog, wild boar, and ticks [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) is a disease that affects domestic pigs and wild boars, resulting in up to 100% case fatality rate, and there is currently no effective treatment or vaccine.

Screening and identification of the dominant antigens of the African swine fever virus [PDF]
African swine fever is a highly lethal contagious disease of pigs for which there is no vaccine. Its causative agent African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly complex enveloped DNA virus encoding more than 150 open reading frames.
