Molecular monitoring of African swine fever virus using surveys targeted at adult ornithodoros ticks: a re-evaluation of Mkuze game reserve, South Africa.

The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research - 1 Dec 2009

Arnot L F, Du Toit J T, Bastos A D S

Abstract excerpt

The Mkuze Game Reserve (MGR), in north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa is an African swine fever virus (ASF) controlled area. In a survey conducted in 1978, ASF prevalence in warthogs and Ornithodoros ticks in MGR was determined to be 2% and 0.06%, respectively. These values, acknowledged as being unusually low compared to other East and southern African ASF-positive sylvatic-cycle host populations,...
