  • Title: Experimental infection of warthos (Phacochoerus aethiopicus) with African swine fever virus.
    Author: Thomson GR, Gainaru MD, Van Dellen AF.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1980 Mar; 47(1):19-22. PubMed ID: 7454231.
    Abstract:
    Although there were no obvious signs of illness following experimental infection of young warthog with African swine fever virus, the animals developed viraemias between 10(2,4) and 10(3,6) HD50/ml within the first week of infection, and virus concentrations in a number of lymphatic tissues attained high levels (greater than or equal to 10(6) HD50/g). Unlike in blood, and to some extent in the spleen, virus titres in lymph nodes did not decline appreciable during the 33-day observation period, since at the end of the period lymphatic tissues from 2 warthog were still infectious for domestic pigs to which these tissues were fed.
