Key result
African swine fever review highlights current advances in epidemiology and control alongside remaining knowledge gaps.
Why the study?
African swine fever has emerged in several European and Asian countries with unprecedented distribution over the last decade.
This review summarizes current knowledge on African swine fever virology, epidemiology, and control strategies.
Updates ASF management insights for veterinarians; leaves open key gaps in control and epidemiology for prospective studies.
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.
