Comparative Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequence of African Swine Fever Virus Belgium 2018/1

Jan H Forth et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

We analyzed the whole-genome sequence of African swine fever virus Belgium 2018/1. The strain fits into the European genotype II (>99.98% identity). The high-coverage sequence revealed 15 differences compared with an improved African swine fever virus Georgia 2007/1 sequence. However, in the absence of genetic markers, no spatial or temporal correlations could be defined.

Keywords: African swine fever virus; molecular epidemiology; viruses; whole-genome sequencing.
