A review of African swine fever highlights current knowledge and advances in virology, clinical disease, epidemiology, diagnosis, and control, alongside existing knowledge gaps.
This review summarizes current knowledge on African swine fever virology, epidemiology, and control strategies.
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease with exceptionally high lethality in domestic pigs and Eurasian wild boar. Over the last decade, ASF has emerged in several European and Asian countries and has now an unprecedented distribution. Against this background, the presented review focuses on current knowledge and advances in ASF virology, clinical disease upon infection with recent strains, epidemiology, diagnosis, and control. This review highlights knowledge gaps and controversial opinions related to ASF.
