Abstract excerpt
African swine fever (ASF) is a rapidly fatal viral haemorrhagic fever in Chinese domestic pigs. Although very high mortality is observed in pig farms after an ASF outbreak, clinically healthy and antibody-positive pigs are found in those farms, and viral detection is rare from these pigs. The ability of pigs to resist ASF viral infection may be modulated by host genetic variations. However, the genetic basis of...
