Evaluation of the Deletion of MGF110-5L-6L on Swine Virulence from the Pandemic Strain of African Swine Fever Virus and Use as a DIVA Marker in Vaccine Candidate ASFV-G-ΔI177L

Abstract excerpt

Currently, there are no African swine fever (ASF) commercial vaccines that can be used to prevent or control the spread of ASF. The only effective experimental vaccines against ASF are live-attenuated vaccines.
