African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative pathogen of the recent African swine fever epidemic, with devastating impacts on economy. A recent study by Wang et al. reveals the multilayer structural details of ASFV at near-atomic resolution, which provides interesting insights about giant virus assembly and paves the way for vaccine development.
非洲猪瘟病毒(ASFV)是近期非洲猪瘟疫情的病原体,对经济造成了毁灭性影响。最近,Wang 等人的研究揭示了 ASFV 的近原子分辨率多层次结构细节,为巨型病毒的组装提供了有趣的见解,并为疫苗开发铺平了道路。
