title: Novel virulence and host range genes of African swine fever virus.
abstract: Current work is beginning to reveal the complex mechanisms by which African swine fever virus interacts with its swine and tick hosts. This work includes the identification of novel viral genes that mediate virulence and host range, and influence important cellular regulatory pathways.
