The C962R ORF of African Swine Fever Strain Georgia Is Non-Essential and Not Required for Virulence in Swine

23 Jun 2020

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of the African swine fever (ASF) epizootic currently affecting pigs throughout Eurasia, causing significant economic losses in the swine industry. The virus genome encodes for more than 160 genes, of which only a few have been studied in detail.
