  • Domestic pigs could be asymptomatic carriers of African Swine Fever

    Uppsala University - 2013

    Emerging Infectious Diseases: a model of disease transmission dynamics at the wildlife-livestock interface in Uganda


    This study found one domestic pig that was PCR positive for ASFV, but negative for ASFV antibodies when run on an ELISA.

    This is an interesting find as it suggests the presence of asymptomatic carriers among domestic pigs, a possible source of new outbreaks.
