Implication

May aid CSFV surveillance via E2 genotyping in Europe; leaves open whether this improves outbreak control or vaccine matching.

Structured PICO

Population

12 Sardinian isolates of Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) obtained from wild boar and domestic swine

Intervention

Sequencing of a variable region of the gene encoding the major glycoprotein (E2) and phylogenetic analysis

Outcome

Phylogenetic relationships and geographical distribution of the isolates

Small variations within the E2 region of the CSFV genome can be used to separate isolates into groups that precisely fit their geographical distribution, aiding in epidemiological tracking.

Limitations

Limited number of isolates examined for recent Nuoro viruses
