Key result
Molecular characterization of nine African swine fever virus isolates from domestic pigs in Romania revealed that all clustered within p72 genotype II, showing 100% identity with regional isolates.
Why the study?
African swine fever is a deadly swine disease that expanded across Eastern Europe, but molecular characterization of isolates in Romania was lacking.
Population

This study provides the first report of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II in symptomatic pigs in Romania.
Ungur et al. (2021) conducted an observational in African swine fever (n=9). Genotyping of ASFV isolates was evaluated on Molecular characterization and genotype identification. Molecular characterization of nine African swine fever virus isolates from domestic pigs in Romania revealed that all clustered within p72 genotype II, showing 100% identity with regional isolates.
