The African swine fever virus from a 2018 outbreak in China belonged to p72 genotype II and CD2v serogroup 8 based on phylogenetic analysis.
On August 3, 2018, an outbreak of African swine fever in pigs was reported in China. We subjected a virus from an African swine fever-positive pig sample to phylogenetic analysis. This analysis showed that the causative strain belonged to the p72 genotype II and CD2v serogroup 8.
Ge et al. (Thu,) conducted a letter in African swine fever (n=8). African swine fever virus (ASFV) was evaluated on Viral genotype and serogroup. The African swine fever virus from a 2018 outbreak in China belonged to p72 genotype II and CD2v serogroup 8 based on phylogenetic analysis.
