The World Organisation for Animal Health has listed African swine fever as the most important deadly disease in domestic swine around the world. The virus was recently brought from South-East Africa to Georgia in 2007, and it has since expanded to Russia, Eastern Europe, China, and Southeast Asia, having a devastating impact on the global swine industry and economy. In this study, we report for the first time the molecular characterization of nine African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates obtained from domestic pigs in Mureş County, Romania. All nine Romanian samples clustered within p72 genotype II and showed 100% identity with all compared isolates from Georgia, Armenia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland. This is the first report of ASFV genotype II in the country.
世界动物卫生组织已将非洲猪瘟列为全球家猪中最重要的致命疾病。该病毒最近于2007年从东南非洲传入格鲁吉亚,此后已蔓延至俄罗斯、东欧、中国和东南亚,对全球养猪业和经济造成了毁灭性影响。在本研究中,我们首次报告了从罗马尼亚穆列什县家猪中分离出的9株非洲猪瘟病毒(ASFV)的分子特征。所有9个罗马尼亚样本均聚集在p72基因型II内,与来自格鲁吉亚、亚美尼亚、俄罗斯、阿塞拜疆、乌克兰、白俄罗斯、立陶宛和波兰的所有比较分离株显示出100%的同一性。这是该国ASFV基因型II的首次报告。
