USDA ASF Vaccine Shows Promising Results

An African Swine Fever (ASF) vaccine being developed by the United States’ Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been shown to be effective in halting further spread of ASF. Research published in September of 2021 showed that a commercially viable vaccine candidate has been effective against ASF strains from Asia in European and Asian breeds of pigs. The next step will be to establish the vaccine’s efficacy under production conditions, but on the whole, the progress appears promising in offering a solution to the disease that has ravaged pork production globally.
