Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 376: Deletion of the EP402R Gene from the Genome of African Swine Fever Vaccine Strain ASFV-G- & #8710;I177L Provides the Potential Capability of Differentiating between Infected and Vaccinated Animals
In this report, we describe the development of the ASFV-G-∆I177L mutant having deleted the EP402R gene, which encodes for the viral protein responsible for mediating the hemadsorption of swine erythrocytes. The resulting virus, ASFV-G-∆I177L/∆EP402R, does not have a decreased ability to replicates in swine macrophages when compared with the parental ASFV-G-∆I177L. Domestic pigs intramuscularly (IM) inoculated with either 102 or 106 HAD50 of ASFV-G-∆I177L/∆EP402R remained clinically normal, when compared with a group of mock-vaccinated anima...
