Detection and molecular characterization of African swine fever virus recovered from Ornithodoros ticks of the Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania

2026-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> African swine fever (ASF) is a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs and Eurasian wild boars, caused by ASF virus (ASFV). In Africa, ASFV is maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving wild suids, primarily warthogs ( <italic>Phacocherus africanus</italic> ) and <italic>Ornithodoros</italic> ticks. Despite ASF outbreaks in Tanzania, the role of the sylvatic cycle in area...
