Implication

May sustain ASFV transmission cycles in ticks; leaves open field validation of reservoir role in swine outbreaks.

Structured PICO

Population

Nymphal ticks (Ornithodoros porcinus porcinus)

Intervention

African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection (isolate Chiredzi/83/1 and three additional isolates)

Outcome

Virus titration and ultrastructural evidence of virus replication in ticks or dissected tick tissuessurrogate

ASFV establishes a persistent, generalized infection in Ornithodoros porcinus porcinus ticks without significant mortality, facilitating tick-to-pig transmission.
