African swine fever - disease monograph series - 08
Abstract
Implications of African swine fever virus (ASFV) for food security in Africa are significant. ASFV remains an imposing and enormous risk to animal health and food security globally. The key challenges to developing a safe and effective vaccine for ASFV are due to gaps in understanding regarding the agent-host relationship. The paper discusses research questions that need to be addressed prior to developing a potential vaccine. This includes facilitating coordination among international researchers to advance knowledge of the basic science of ASFV through a systematic approach for antigenic and immune related research.
