Pathogenesis and Immune Dynamics of African Swine Fever Virus Across Diverse Suid Species

Abstract African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a severe hemorrhagic disease in Eurasian suids, whereas African suids are considered susceptible, but resistant to disease. To investigate the basis of this differential clinical fate, domestic pigs, Eurasian wild boar, red river hogs and common warthogs were inoculated with the virulent ASFV strain Armenia08. Host responses to ASFV infection were c
