Evaluation of the Function of the ASFV <i>KP177R</i> Gene, Encoding for Structural Protein p22, in the Process of Virus Replication and in Swine Virulence

African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a devastating disease of swine that has caused outbreaks in Central Europe since 2007, spreading into Asia in 2018. ASFV is a large, structurally complex virus with a large dsDNA genome encoding for more than 160 genes, most of them still uncharacterized. p22,...
