The epidemiology of African swine fever: the role of free-living hosts in Africa.
The known distribution of African swine fever (ASF) virus in Africa is reviewed in relation to the distributions of its free-living hosts as are the infection rates of these species in different localities in southern Africa. Mechanisms by which ASF virus is maintained in its sylvatic state and ways in which the infection may enter domestic pig populations are discussed.
متن کاملPhylodynamics and evolutionary epidemiology of African swine fever p72-CVR genes in Eurasia and Africa
African swine fever (ASF) is a complex infectious disease of swine that constitutes devastating impacts on animal health and the world economy. Here, we investigated the evolutionary epidemiology of ASF virus (ASFV) in Eurasia and Africa using the concatenated gene sequences of the viral protein 72 and the central variable region of isolates collected between 1960 and 2015. We used Bayesian phy...
متن کاملPhylogeographic analysis of African swine fever virus based on the p72 gene sequence.
African swine fever virus (ASFV) outbreak has been considered as an emerging and re-emerging disease for almost a century. Diagnostically, simple polymerase chain reaction and sequencing-based molecular detection could be employed for both viral identification and genotyping. This study established a novel phylogenetic analysis and epidemiology comparison based on 205 bp of p72 gene sequences. ...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of East African Pigs: Implications for African Swine Fever (ASF)
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease of pigs that results in complete mortality of infected animals, especially when improved genetics from the developed world are used. The virus is reportedly maintained in a sylvatic cycle that includes warthogs (Phacochoerus spp.) and bush pigs (Potamchoerus porcus) in Africa (Oura et al., 1998). There have been indications that ticks of ...
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...
