African swine fever virus replication in porcine lymphocytes.
Purified preparation of porcine lymphocytes were infected with three isolates of virulent African swine fever virus (ASFV). Electron microscopy showed the presence of small numbers of mature virus particles in degenerating cells. The titres of infective virus released were low and reached a maximum by 24 h after infection.
