Animal Disease Management and Epidemiology

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

This study classifies MGF proteins of ASFV into 35 groups based on sequence homology and provides a web server for classification.

This study characterizes the temporal transcriptome and promoter architecture of African Swine Fever Virus during early and late infection, revealing distinct promoter motifs and transcription termination mechanisms.

ASFVdb provides a resource for comparative genomics and proteomics analysis of African swine fever virus, including genome annotation, population genetics, and functional predictions.

The paper reports the first complete genome sequence of a novel FMDV Asia1 lineage (G-IX) from Bangladesh and identifies amino acid substitutions in the capsid compared to existing vaccine and contemporary isolates.

This paper presents a method to rapidly analyze ASFV phylogenetics from metagenomic sequences without virus isolation, identifying two major clades and linking Wuhan isolates to earlier outbreaks.

The paper estimates swine movement networks at the county level in Iowa using Census of Agriculture data and finds evidence of a small-world structure, suggesting vulnerability to disease outbreaks.
