Deletion of the CD2v Gene from the Genome of ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033 Partially Reduces Virulence and Induces Protection in Pigs
30 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Infection of pigs with the African swine fever virus (ASFV) leads to a devastating hemorrhagic disease with a high mortality of up to 100%. In this study, a CD2v gene deletion was introduced to a genotype IX virus from East Africa, ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033 (ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033-∆CD2v), to investigate whether this deletion led to reduced virulence in domestic pigs and to see if inoculation with this LA-ASFV could induce...
