TLDR
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large icosahedral DNA virus which replicates predominantly in the cytoplasm of infected cells and a similar mechanism of replication to Poxviruses has been proposed for ASFV.About:

African swine fever: A re-emerging viral disease threatening the global pig industry
TL;DR: Genotype II African swine fever virus (ASFV) circulating in Europe has high pathogenicity for domestic pigs and wild boar and relies on ‘stamping-out’ policies and control of pig movements, which have a significant impact on affected regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An update on the epidemiology and pathology of African swine fever.
TL;DR: This review addresses each of the main characteristics of this infection, including its current distribution and routes of transmission, and aims to update knowledge of the disease in order to improve early detection of ASF in the field and allow implementation of public health programmes.

African swine fever.
Linda K. Dixon,H. Sun,H. Roberts +2 more
TL;DR: In this review, what is known about the African swine fever virus, the disease it causes, how it spreads and the current global situation is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
African Swine Fever Epidemiology and Control
TL;DR: The epidemiology of African swine fever is reviewed in these different scenarios and methods used for control, and progress toward vaccine development and research priorities are discussed to better understand this complex disease and improve control.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Proteomic Atlas of the African Swine Fever Virus Particle.
TL;DR: A comprehensive model of the ASFV architecture is provided that integrates both compositional and structural information and strongly supports the suggestion that these host membrane-associated proteins are recruited during virus budding at actin-dependent membrane protrusions.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

MEGA4: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) Software Version 4.0
TL;DR: Version 4 of MEGA software expands on the existing facilities for editing DNA sequence data from autosequencers, mining Web-databases, performing automatic and manual sequence alignment, analyzing sequence alignments to estimate evolutionary distances, inferring phylogenetic trees, and testing evolutionary hypotheses.

Evolutionary Divergence and Convergence in Proteins
Emile Zuckerkandl,Linus Pauling +1 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of the amount of differences between two organisms as derived from sequences in structural genes or in their polypeptide translation is likely to lead to quantities different from those obtained on the basis of observations made at any other, higher level of biological integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary genomics of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses
TL;DR: It is shown that subsequent evolution of the NCLDV genomes involved lineage-specific expansion of paralogous gene families and acquisition of numerous genes via horizontal gene transfer from the eukaryotic hosts, other viruses, and bacteria (primarily, endosymbionts and parasites).
