Kutish, Department of Pathobiology and Veterinary Science and Center of Excellence for Vaccine Research, University of Connecticut; and G. Delhon, School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and Nebraska Center for Virology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln African swine fever is an emerging disease threat for the swine industry worldwide. No ASF vaccine is available, and progress is hindered by lack of knowledge concerning the extent of ASFV strain diversity and the viral antigens responsible for protection in the pig. Available data from vaccination/challenge experiments in pigs indicate ASF protective immunity may be hemadsorption inhibition serotype-specific. read more
