May heighten novel ASFV outbreak risk in western Africa; leaves open transmission dynamics and surveillance needs.
Cross-Sectional (n=80)
The cocirculation of eastern and western African genotypes of African swine fever virus in the Congo highlights the risk of novel outbreaks in western Africa.
Carmina Gallardo (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in African Swine Fever (n=80). African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) exposure was evaluated on ASFV genome detection and genotyping. African swine fever virus p72 genotype IX, previously associated with outbreaks in eastern Africa, is cocirculating with the historical West African genotype I in domestic pigs in the Republic of the Congo.
