Characterization of African Swine Fever Virus Caucasus Isolate in European Wild Boars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 2007, African swine fever has spread from the Caucasus region. To learn more about the dynamics of the disease in wild boars (Sus scrofa), we conducted experiments by using European wild boars. We found high virulence of Caucasus isolates limited potential for establishment of endemicity.

Assessing the Risk of African Swine Fever Introduction into the European Union by Wild Boar.
The presence of African swine fever (ASF) in the Caucasus region and Russian Federation has increased concerns that wild boars may introduce the ASF virus into the European Union (EU). This study describes a semi-quantitative approach for evaluating the risk of ASF introduction into the EU by wild boar movements based on the following risk estimators: the susceptible population of (1) wild boar...
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...
متن کاملEmergence of African Swine Fever Virus, Northwestern Iran
In 2008, African swine fever was introduced into Georgia, after which it spread to neighboring Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Russian Federation. That same year, PCR and sequence analysis identified African swine fever virus in samples from 3 dead female wild boars in northwestern Iran. Wild boars may serve as a reservoir.
متن کاملRole of wild boars and domestic pigs in the spread of African swine fever in the Russian Federation (2007-2013)
text: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and fatal disease of domestic pigs, feral pigs and wild boar. In the last years (2007-2013) 683 outbreaks of ASF were reported in the Russian Federation (RF) (292 in wild boars and 391 in domestic pigs) causing significant economic losses in the swine industry. The recent introduction of ASF in wild boars in EU increases the risk for other ...
متن کاملPolymerase cross-linking spiral reaction (PCLSR) for detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in pigs and wild boars
The study reports the development of a polymerase cross-linking spiral reaction (PCLSR) for the detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) DNA in blood collected from infected pigs and wild boars. The method uses 3 specifically designed primers. Two outer-spiral primers comprising of 3' sequences complementary to ASFV p72 gene sequence and 5'end sequences complementary to exogenous gene of b...
