Analysis of the complete nucleotide sequence of African swine fever virus.

TLDR
Analysis of the complete genome of African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain BA71V confirms the intermediate characteristics of ASFV between poxviruses and iridoviruses, supporting the notion that AsFV belongs to an independent virus family.

Apoptosis: Molecular Regulation of Cell Death

TL;DR: Although apoptosis is now accepted as a critical element in the repertoire of potential cellular responses, the picture of the intra-cellular processes involved is probably still incomplete, not just in its details, but also in the basic outline of the process as a whole.

The complete genomic sequence of the modified vaccinia ankara strain : comparison with other orthopoxviruses

TL;DR: The attenuated phenotype of MVA is the result of numerous mutations, particularly affecting the host interactive proteins, including the ankyrin-like genes, but also involving some structural proteins.

Common Origin of Four Diverse Families of Large Eukaryotic DNA Viruses

TL;DR: The conservation of the disulfide-oxidoreductase, a major capsid protein, and two virion membrane proteins indicates that the odd-shaped virions of poxviruses have evolved from the more common icosahedral virion seen in asfarviruses, iridoviruses, and phycodnaviruses.

African swine fever virus replication and genomics

TL;DR: 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.
