New agents active against African swine fever virus.
Actinobolin, atropine, carrageenan, megalomycin C, suramin, and tetracenomycin C were tested for their activity against African swine fever virus replication. Both viral inhibitory potency and cytotoxicity were investigated. Megalomycin C, suramin, atropine, and carrageenan exhibited significant activity. Megalomycin C was the most active of the four agents with respect to the concentration of ...
متن کاملAfrican swine fever virus transcription.
African swine fever virus (ASFV), a large, enveloped, icosahedral dsDNA virus, is currently the only known DNA-containing arbovirus and the only recognized member of the family Asfarviridae. Its genome encodes more than 150 open reading frames that are densely distributed, separated by short intergenic regions. ASFV gene expression follows a complex temporal programming. Four classes of mRNAs h...
متن کاملAfrican swine fever . New developments
With regard to epizootiology, diseased pigs are the major source of direct infection, while indirect spread is mainly caused by pork pro ducts and mechanical vectors. Information about the role of virus car riers in transmission of the infection is insufficient, but the role of ticks (Ornithodorus genus) and of wild pigs as virus reservoirs is well docu mented. The incidence and distribution...
متن کاملAfrican Swine Fever Virus: a new old enemy of Europe
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease of swine with a mortality rate approaching 100 percent. African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a double-stranded DNA virus with a complex molecular structure. Its large genome, encoding multiple virulence factors, allows for efficient replication, which takes place predominantly in the cytoplasm of monocytes and macrophages. Also, ASFV...
متن کاملAfrican swine fever virus replication and genomics.
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large icosahedral DNA virus which replicates predominantly in the cytoplasm of infected cells. The ASFV double-stranded DNA genome varies in length from about 170 to 193 kbp depending on the isolate and contains between 150 and 167 open reading frames. These are closely spaced and read from both DNA strands. The virus genome termini are covalently closed by...
