Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati have investigated the biochemistry of African swine fever virus (ASFV) proteins, with a focus on understanding the biochemical processes of infection to design effective control strategies.
ASFV is a highly contagious virus that causes significant economic losses in pig farming. It spreads through tick bites, direct contact, and contaminated food, and is resistant to standard cooking methods, making it challenging to control and eradicate.
