African Swine Fever: pathogenicity African Swine Fever: pathogenicity The pathogenicity of two groups of African swine fever virus isolates from Cameroon in domestic Pigs
In a previous study on the restriction enzyme analysis of genomes of ASFV isolates from Cameroon (8) it was shown that there are probably two genetically very closely related virus groups persisting within the pig population in the country; one group consists of the CAM/82, CAM/85 CAM/87 and CAM/88 ASFV isolates while the other includes the CAM/86 isolate only. The main differences between the ...
متن کاملPathogenesis of African swine fever in domestic pigs and European wild boar.
African swine fever (ASF) is among the most important viral diseases that can affect domestic and feral pigs. Both clinical signs and pathomorphological changes vary considerably depending on strain virulence and host factors. Acute infections with highly virulent virus strains lead to a clinical course that resembles a viral haemorrhagic fever that is characterized by pronounced depletion of l...
متن کاملPrevalence of African swine fever virus in apparently healthy domestic pigs in Uganda
BACKGROUND African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease which can cause up to 100% mortality among domestic pigs leading to serious socio-economic impact on people's livelihoods. ASF is endemic in Uganda and there is paucity of information on the epidemiology of the disease. The major aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and prevalence of African swine fever virus (A...
متن کاملAfrican Swine Fever Virus DNA in Soft Ticks, Senegal
African swine fever is a highly contagious disease of pigs in Africa. Although its persistence in Senegal may be caused by asymptomatic carriers involved in the domestic transmission cycle, we demonstrated that the soft tick Ornithodoros sonrai can be naturally infected with the causative agent.
متن کاملTransmission routes of African swine fever virus to domestic pigs: current knowledge and future research directions
African swine fever (ASF) is a major threat to the pig industry in Europe. Since 2007, ASF outbreaks have been ongoing in the Caucasus, Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries, causing severe economic losses for many pig farmers and pork producers. In addition, the number of ASF cases in wild boar populations has dramatically increased over the past few years. Evidence supports direct contact w...
