Key result
Indian wild boar African swine fever virus shares ~99% identity with domestic strains despite unique mutations.
Why the study?
Awareness among veterinary and public health professionals on African swine fever virus evolution and domestic-wild pig transmission is necessary for a One Health approach to food security.

Population
African swine fever virus isolated from a wild boar in Mizoram, India
Comparison
Virus from wild boar vs domestic pig origin
Design
Complete genome analysis
Complete genome analysis of African swine fever virus isolated from a wild boar in Mizoram, India, revealed ≈99% nucleotide identity with those of domestic pig origin but with unique mutations. A One Health approach toward food security necessitates awareness among veterinary and public health professionals on virus evolution and domestic-wild pig transmission.
