Sero-prevalence and risk factors associated with African swine fever on pig farms in southwest Nigeria
BACKGROUND African swine fever (ASF) is one of the major setbacks to development of the pig industry in Nigeria. It is enzootic in southwest Nigeria. We determined the sero-prevalence and factors associated with ASF among-herd seropositivity in 144 pig farms in six States from southwest Nigeria during the dry and rainy seasons using indirect Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for ASF IgG...
متن کاملIdentification of Wild Boar–Habitat Epidemiologic Cycle in African Swine Fever Epizootic
The African swine fever epizootic in central and eastern European Union member states has a newly identified component involving virus transmission by wild boar and virus survival in the environment. Insights led to an update of the 3 accepted African swine fever transmission models to include a fourth cycle: wild boar-habitat.
متن کاملAfrican Swine Fever
As it is well known, successful vaccination in many viral diseases was reached by classical empirical approaches: attenuated or inactivated virus-based vaccines, viral protein immunization, etc. However, previous attempts to develop vaccines against ASFV have not reached expectations and the reasons of several vaccination failures are unknown yet. Then, a deeper knowledge of basic virology ques...
متن کاملAfrican swine fever.
African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating haemorrhagic fever of pigs that causes up to 100% mortality, for which there is no vaccine. It is caused by a unique DNA virus that is maintained in an ancient cycle between warthogs and argasid ticks, making it the only known DNA arbovirus. ASF has a high potential for transboundary spread, and has twice been transported from Africa to other continent...
متن کاملAfrican Swine Fever: genomic
Many reports have been written describing the major rearrangements that occur during adaptation of ASF virus to tissue culture (2, 13, 15). Comparison of restriction enzyme site maps of genomes of tissue culture adapted virus with those of unadapted virus showed that most changes resulted from deletions or additions of sequences from regions close to both termini. In two different experiments (...
