Dynamics of African swine fever virus shedding and excretion in domestic pigs infected by intramuscular inoculation and contact transmission

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of shedding and excretion of the Georgia 2007/1 ASFV strain were measured through within-and between-pen transmission scenarios, and the results indicated that the pathogenesis of the disease might be different depending on the route of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deletion of African swine fever virus interferon inhibitors from the genome of a virulent isolate reduces virulence in domestic pigs and induces a protective response

TL;DR: The data confirms that these MGF360 and MGF530/505 genes have roles in suppressing induction of type I IFN and is a promising route for construction of rationally attenuated ASFV candidate vaccine strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of African swine fever virus to type I interferon is linked to genes within multigene families 360 and 505.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that as well as inhibiting the induction of interferon, MGF360 and MGF505 genes also enable ASFV to overcome the antiviral state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deletion of the African Swine Fever Virus Gene DP148R Does Not Reduce Virus Replication in Culture but Reduces Virus Virulence in Pigs and Induces High Levels of Protection against Challenge.

TL;DR: The virus with the gene deletion, BeninΔDP148R, caused mild clinical signs in pigs and induced high levels of protection against challenge with the parental virulent virus and can provide a target for the rational development of vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different routes and doses influence protection in pigs immunised with the naturally attenuated African swine fever virus isolate OURT88/3.

TL;DR: Results showed that factors including delivery route and dose determine the outcome of immunisation with the naturally attenuated isolate OURT88/3, and pigs immunised intramuscularly with low and moderate doses displayed lower percentages of protection, and low or undetectable levels of virus genome were detected in blood samples throughout the study.
