African swine fever virus
|
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever.
ASFV is a large double-stranded DNA virus which replicates in the cytoplasm of infected
cells and is the only member of the Asfarviridae family. ASFV infects domestic pigs,
warthogs and bushpigs, as well as soft ticks (Ornithodorus spp),which are likely vectors.
ASFV is the only virus with a DNA genome that is transmitted by arthropods.
The virus causes a lethal haemorraghic disease in domestic pigs, some isolates can cause
death of animals within as little as a week after infection. In all of the other species
the virus causes no obvious disease. ASFV is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa and exists
in the wild through a cycle of infection between ticks and wild pigs/bushpigs/warthogs.
ASFV was first described after European settlers brought pigs into areas endemic with
ASFV and as such is an example of an 'emerging infection'.
