This chapter focuses on the Asfarviridae family whose sole member genus ispopularly known as African swine fever virus (ASFV). The ASFV virions consist of a nucleoprotein core structure, which is 70–100 nm in diameter, surrounded by an internal lipid layer, an icosahedral capsid, and an ...
The Asfarviridae family comprises only one genus, Asfivirus, with species African swine fever virus (ASFV). The family belongs to the clade of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of the proposed order Megavirales, which brings together diverse eukaryotic DNA viruses that reproduce mai...

This study examines the functional role of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) 1L-5-6L multigene family 110 genes in vivo. Four clinically healthy Large White pigs were used in this study. Two groups of animals were inoculated with either the parental strain or the deletion variant, ...
ASFV was first classified as a member of the familyIridoviridaebecause of its large size, cytoplasmic location, and double-stranded DNA genome. However, studies of replication strategy and the genome revealed similarities with thePoxviridae, although the viruses differ structurally. ASFV was therefore...

African swine fever virus (ASFV), a large, enveloped, icosahedral dsDNA virus, is currently the only known DNA-containing arbovirus and the only recognized member of the family Asfarviridae. Its genome encodes more than 150 open reading frames that are densely distributed, separated by short ...
