AI Article Synopsis

  • The virus capsid is made up of double layers of capsomeres that are arranged uniformly.
  • The capsomeres from both the outer and inner layers of the capsid can be released at the same time using lipase digestion.
  • After digestion, the capsomeres were purified using a method called linear gradient ultracentrifugation.

Article Abstract

The virus capsomeres of the outer and inner layers of capsids were effectively released simultaneously from purified virions by lipase digestion and were purified by a linear gradient ultracentrifugation. The capsid consisted of an array of double layers of uniformly arranged individual capsomeres where a lipid(s) served as a matrix in between the capsomeres.

African swine fever (ASF) is considered as one of the most threatening diseases for the pig farming industry all over the world. Due to the lack of an effective vaccine, organized farms and backyard rearing must strictly enforce control measures in order to combat the disease. The present report describes the ASF epidemic in a piggery in Uttar Pradesh state, India.

African swine fever (ASF), caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), is a highly contagious disease with devastating effects on the global pig industry. This warrants the development of effective control strategies, such as vaccines. However, previously developed inactivated vaccines have proven ineffective, while live-attenuated vaccines carry inherent safety risks.

Background: Digital recombinase polymerase amplification (dRPA) is an effective tool for the absolute quantification of nucleic acids and the detection of rare mutations. Due to the high viscosity or other physical properties of the reagent, this can compromise the accuracy and reproducibility of detection results, which limits the broader adoption and practical application of this technology. In this study, we developed an asymmetric contact angle digital isothermal detection (ACA-DID) chip and optimized the ACA-DID chip structure to achieve rapid digital recombinase polymerase amplification.

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute hemorrhagic disease in pigs caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which has a high mortality rate and brought great damage to global pig farming industry. At present, there is no effective treatment or vaccine to combat ASFV infection, so early detection of ASFV has become particularly important. Therefore, the PDMS/chitosan/MPMs composite film was proposed to detect ASFV P72.

Electronic address:

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a complex DNA virus belonging to the family Asfarviridae. The outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) has caused huge economic losses to the pig farming industry. The K205R protein is a key target for detecting ASFV antibodies and represents an important antigen for early serologic diagnosis.
