Article Synopsis
- Two strains of bacteria were isolated from poultry facilities in Ukraine in 2023: OR12-like strain ChP2023 from broiler chickens and NCTC 11168R-like strain KF2023 from turkeys.
- Their genomes were sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies, with sizes of 1,713,995 bp and 1,729,995 bp, respectively.
- Both genomes contained genes associated with antibiotic resistance and other factors that contribute to their ability to cause disease.
Article Synopsis
- African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly viral disease affecting pigs, originating from Africa, and has been spreading in Europe and Asia since its emergence in Georgia in 2007.
- In Ukraine, the highest number of ASF outbreaks occurred in 2017 and 2018, with a notable spread pattern moving from eastern and northern borders towards western and southern regions.
- The analysis indicates that while wild boars played a key role in early ASF spread, human activities have become the main driver in recent years, with effective mitigation strategies leading to a decline in outbreaks since 2019, though complete eradication remains a challenge.
Article Synopsis
- * The recent outbreak in Germany revealed five distinct lineages of ASFV, with new high-impact mutations and a common mutation in a specific gene that may drive further evolution of the virus.
- * The findings stress the importance of comprehensive genomic surveillance of ASFV to track its evolution and potential outbreaks, emphasizing the need for better monitoring of the virus's changes and effects on its spread.
