Abstract

Molecular analyses of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in northern and central Vietnam during 2023-2024 revealed a rapid expansion (14.1%-42.2%) of recombinant ASF virus genotypes I and II. Increased prevalence and resistance to commercial ASF vaccines underscore the urgent need for better ASF control and an updated vaccine in Vietnam.
