A Guide to Molecular Characterization of Genotype II African Swine Fever Virus: Essential and Alternative Genome Markers

2 Mar 2023

Abstract excerpt

African swine fever is a contagious viral disease that has been spreading through Europe and Asia since its initial report from Georgia in 2007. Due to the large genome size of the causative agent, the African swine fever virus (ASFV), the molecular epidemiology, and virus evolution are analyzed by employing different markers. Most of these markers originate from single nucleotide polymorphisms or disparities in...
