Fig. 3: Pathogenicity and transmissibility of the recombinant African swine fever virus JS/LG/21 in pigs.
From: Highly lethal genotype I and II recombinant African swine fever viruses detected in pigs
Groups of six SPF pigs were inoculated with 106 HAD50 (a–f) or 103 HAD50 (g–l) of JS/LG/21, and two naive SPF pigs were cohoused with each group from the first day of inoculation. The rectal temperature (a, g) and survival of the pigs (b, h) were monitored daily. Oral swabs (c, i), rectal swabs (d, j), and blood (e, k) were collected at the indicated timepoints, and tissue samples (f, l) were collected from dead pigs for viral DNA detection using qPCR. The dashed black lines indicate the normal rectal temperature (40 °C) of pigs. LN1, inguinal lymph node; LN2, submaxillary lymph node; LN3, mediastinal lymph node.
