This study develops pseudotype systems for ASFV Ba71v and Georgia 2007 strains to study cell entry mechanisms safely under lower containment.

The paper generates iPSC-derived macrophages from multiple Suidae species to model ASFV infection differences and identify species-specific immune responses.

This study identifies BANF1 as a host factor essential for ASFV replication and reveals that A151R and MGF360-21R inhibit the IFN-I response, independent of BANF1.

This study enhances the immunogenicity of viral capsid proteins by engineering them into membrane-bound or secreted forms, showing improved folding and T cell responses in animal models.

This study examines immune dynamics in pigs infected with virulent ASFV, finding early disruption of the innate-adaptive immune axis and depletion of adaptive immune cells.

The paper reports three full genome sequences of African swine fever virus isolates from Cameroon and identifies novel genetic variations that could aid molecular epidemiology studies.

This study investigates the risk of African swine fever virus (ASFV) transmission to naive pigs from contaminated environments, finding no transmission despite detectable viral DNA in environmental samples.

This study identifies a functional small non-coding RNA encoded by African swine fever virus that reduces viral replication.
