Newly emerged African swine fever virus strain Belgium/Etalle/wb/2018: Complete genomic sequence and comparative analysis with reference p72 genotype II strains

Abstract excerpt

In a new example of pathogens hopscotching the globe, African swine fever virus hit north-western Europe's wildlife in summer 2018, marking a further spread of a disease that had invaded Central and Eastern Europe recently. The complete genomic sequence of the Belgium/Etalle/wb/2018 virus is reported, with the hope it will provide a valuable tool for tracing geographical spread and biologic evolution of the virus.
