Molecular Characterization of African Swine Fever Virus, China, 2018.

ABSTRACT: On August 3, 2018, an outbreak of African swine fever in pigs was reported in China. We subjected a virus from an African swine fever-positive pig sample to phylogenetic analysis. This analysis showed that the causative strain belonged to the p72 genotype II and CD2v serogroup 8.

Molecular characterization of African swine fever viruses from Burkina Faso, 2018.

Project description:BackgroundAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease of domestic and wild swine. ASF has been endemic in Burkina Faso since 2003. In October 2018, substantial pig deaths occurred in Ouagadougou and two neighboring municipalities in central Burkina Faso. Following these mortalities, the veterinary extension services carried out investigations to begin control measures and collect samples.MethodsWe performed real-time PCR for diagnostic confirmation and molecular characterization of the virus based on the partial P72, the complete p54, the partial CD2v, and partial B602L genes.ResultsThe field study revealed that mortalities started two weeks before our investigations. The real-time PCR results confirmed ASFV DNA in twenty samples out of sixty-two blood samples collected in four different locations. The sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed that ASFVs causing these outbreaks belong to genotype I and serogroup 4. The study of the CVR showed 4 TRS variants, and that of the CD2v amino acid sequence revealed five variants based on the number of deleted KCPPPK motifs in the C-terminal proline-reach region of the protein.ConclusionsThe existence of multiple variants in these outbreaks shows the importance of molecular characterization to understand the evolution of ASFV isolates and the link between epidemics.

Genotyping and Molecular Characterization of Classical Swine Fever Virus Isolated in China during 2016-2018.

Project description:Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious disease of swine caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV). For decades the disease has been controlled in China by a modified live vaccine (C-strain) of genotype 1. The emergent genotype 2 strains have become predominant in China in the past years that are genetically distant from the vaccine strain. Here, we aimed to evaluate the current infectious status of CSF, and for this purpose 24 isolates of CSFV were identified from different areas of China during 2016-2018. Phylogenetic analysis of NS5B, E2 and full genome revealed that the new isolates were clustered into subgenotype 2.1d and 2.1b, while subgenotype 2.1d was predominant. Moreover, E2 and Erns displayed multiple variations in neutralizing epitope regions. Furthermore, the new isolates exhibited capacity to escape C-strain-derived antibody neutralization compared with the Shimen strain (genotype 1). Potential positive selection sites were identified in antigenic regions of E2 and Erns, which are related with antibody binding affinity. Recombination events were predicted in the new isolates with vaccine strains in the E2 gene region. In conclusion, the new isolates showed molecular variations and antigenic alterations, which provide evidence for the emergence of vaccine-escaping mutants and emphasize the need of updated strategies for CSF control.

Molecular Characterization of African Swine Fever Virus From 2019-2020 Outbreaks in Guangxi Province, Southern China.

Project description:African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes contagious hemorrhagic disease of pigs with high morbidity and mortality. To identify the molecular characteristics of ASFV strains circulating in Guangxi province, southern China, a total of 336 tissue samples collected from 336 domestic pigs that died as a result of severe hemorrhagic disease during 2019-2020 were tested for ASFV. Furthermore, 66 ASFV strains were genetically characterized by sequence analysis of the C-terminal region of B646L (p72) gene, the complete E183L (p54) gene, the variable region of EP402R (CD2v) gene, the central variable region (CVR) of B602L gene, the full MGF505-2R gene, and the tandem repeat sequence (TRS) within intergenic region (IGR) between the I73R and I329L (I73R/I329L) genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the ASFV strains from Guangxi province belonged to genotypes I and II based on the B646L (p72) and E183L (p54) genes, and there were eight different tetrameric TRS variants based on the CVR of B602L gene. Phylogenetic analysis of the EP402R (CD2v) gene revealed that these ASFV strains belonged to serogroups 4 and 8. Eight of the 66 strains belonged to genotype I and serogroup 4, and showed deletion of whole MGF505-2R gene. The sequence analysis of the IGR between the I73R/I329L genes showed that IGR II and III variants were co-circulating in Guangxi province. The results indicated that ASFV strains circulating in Guangxi province during 2019-2020 outbreaks showed high genetic diversity, of which genotypes I and II, as well as serogroups 4 and 8, were simultaneously circulating in Guangxi province, and there existed wild-type and naturally gene-deleted strains in the field. This is the first detailed report on the molecular characterization of the ASFV strains circulating in southern China, and serogroup 4 in China.

Phylogeographic Analysis of African Swine Fever Virus, Western Europe, 2018.

Project description:In September 2018, African swine fever in wild boars was detected in Belgium. We used African swine fever-infected spleen samples to perform a phylogenetic analysis of the virus. The causative strain belongs to genotype II, and its closest relatives are viruses previously isolated in Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, and European Russia.

African Swine Fever Virus in Pork Brought into South Korea by Travelers from China, August 2018.

Project description:We tested samples of pork products confiscated from travelers to South Korea for African swine fever virus (ASFV). We detected ASFV in 4 food items confiscated from travelers from Shenyang, China, in August 2018. Surveillance of pork products at country entry points is needed to mitigate the risk for ASFV introduction.
