Implication

May guide ASFV surveillance toward wild suids; leaves open the impact of rapid evolution on control strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

665 concatenated gene sequences of the viral protein 72 (vp72) and the central variable region (CVR) of African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates collected between 1960 and 2015 from 14 Eurasian, 8 East African, and 11 West and Central African countries.

Outcome

Evolutionary history, population demographics, and dispersal patterns of ASFV

Bayesian phylodynamic analysis reveals that ASFV has undergone rapid evolutionary growth since emerging from East Africa in the 18th century, with wild suids acting as the ancestral host.
