Key result
Phylogenomic analysis revealed that the MOZ/01/2005 isolate differs from Georgia 2007/1 by only a single synonymous SNP, confirming a virus circulating in Mozambique in 2005 as its closest link.
Why the study?
The origin of the African swine fever genotype II virus of unknown provenance introduced to Georgia in 2007 was unknown.
Population
Seven African swine fever genotype II outbreak viruses (1998-2019)
Comparison

Pinpoints Mozambique 2005 virus as closest relative to Georgia 2007/1; extends prior genotyping and leaves open exact transmission routes for surveillance.
Phylogenomic analysis reveals that the Georgia 2007/1 African swine fever virus likely originated from a virus circulating in Mozambique in 2005.
Mthombeni et al. (2023) studied African swine fever (n=7). Phylogenomic analysis was evaluated on Genetic relationship to Georgia 2007/1. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that the MOZ/01/2005 isolate differs from Georgia 2007/1 by only a single synonymous SNP, confirming a virus circulating in Mozambique in 2005 as its closest link.
