Deletion of the CD2v Gene from the Genome of ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033 Partially Reduces Virulence and Induces Protection in Pigs
Infection of pigs with the African swine fever virus (ASFV) leads to a devastating hemorrhagic disease with a high mortality of up to 100%. In this study, a CD2v gene deletion was introduced to a genotype IX virus from East Africa, ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033 (ASFV-Kenya-IX-1033-∆CD2v), to investigate whethe...
