Key result
Complete genome sequencing of African swine fever virus strains from Burundi and Malawi revealed they belong to p72 genotypes X and II, and serogroups 7 and 8, respectively.
Why the study?
Several African swine fever outbreaks in domestic pigs have occurred in Burundi and Malawi, but whole-genome sequences of circulating outbreak viruses in these countries were limited.
Comparison
Sequenced outbreak strains vs previously described complete ASFV genomes
Design
Comparative genomic and serotyping study

Extends ASFV genomic surveillance in eastern Africa; leaves open implications for regional transmission and control strategies.
Complete genome sequencing of ASFV strains from Burundi and Malawi provides insight into their genetic structure and antigenic diversity, aiding in the understanding of transmission dynamics in eastern Africa.
Hakizimana et al. (2021) studied African swine fever. Whole-genome sequencing was evaluated on Complete genome sequence and comparative genomic analysis. Complete genome sequencing of African swine fever virus strains from Burundi and Malawi revealed they belong to p72 genotypes X and II, and serogroups 7 and 8, respectively.
