ASF Virus
\nand its
\nConsequences<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8″][vc_column_text]The World Organisation for Animal Health currently lists many countries, especially in Europe and Asia, being affected by the African swine fever epidemic.<\/p>\n

The ASF virus affects domestic and wild pigs, with a mortality rate of up to 100%. The disease and its consequences are the cause of serious socio-economic problems in livestock breeding.<\/p>\n

African swine fever virus is a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the unique species African Swine Fever Virus ASFv the genus Asfivirus and the family Asfarviridae. However, there are several different genotypes and virulences which are more or less severe depending on the strains. This virus is relatively large compared to others and has a more complex structure with the presence of an outer lipid envelope. In the fight against this disease, this is an advantage as it is therefore much more sensitive to disinfectants that inactivate it more easily than viruses without an envelope (known as naked), which is especially true if they are small.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row anchor=”structure”][vc_column]
