Key result
Genome comparison revealed 54-107 variation sites between the China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain and other genotype II virulent strains, sharing the highest similarity with the POL/2015/Podlaskie strain.
Why the study?
African swine fever was introduced into China in August 2018 and led to high mortality in domestic pigs.
Population
African swine fever virus China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain and related European p72 Genotype II strains
Comparison
China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain vs related European p72 Genotype II strains
Design
Genome sequencing and comparative phylogenetic analysis

ASFV genomic data aids swine surveillance in Asia; hypothesis-generating for strain evolution without functional validation.
The study provides genomic characterization of the ASFV China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain, revealing its close relationship with the POL/2015/Podlaskie strain and expanding knowledge on ASFV genetic diversity.
Bao et al. (2019) studied African swine fever. Genome characterization of China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain vs. European p72 Genotype II strains was evaluated on Genome sequence variation and phylogenetic clustering. Genome comparison revealed 54-107 variation sites between the China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ strain and other genotype II virulent strains, sharing the highest similarity with the POL/2015/Podlaskie strain.
