摘      要：African swine fever(ASF)caused by the ASF virus(ASFV)is a highly contagious disease of pigs and wild ***,there are no safe,effective commercial vaccines *** genome of ASFV HLJ/18 contains more than 180 genes,including a few virulence-related *** these key virulence genes through individual deletion and subsequent pathogenicity testing in pigs is a laborious *** addition,some ASFV genes are indispensable for viral replication and cannot be *** the past 30 years,scientists have confirmed that certain ASFV genes particularly those host antiviral innate immune responses,are associated with the virulence of ASFV *** knockout of these genes does not impact viral replication,it does attenuate the virulence of ASFV in *** immunized with these live attenuated vaccine candidates can provide partial or complete *** on these findings,we propose a new concept that ASFV immunomodulatory genes involved in type I interferon(IFN)production,IFN-JAK-STAT signaling,inflammatory responses,cell death(involved in apoptosis,necrosis,and pyroptosis),and autophagy may be related to the pathogenicity of *** unbiased screening may identify more ASFV immunomodulatory or multifunctional genes,simplifying the confirmation of ASFV virulence-related *** line with these theories,we have identified MGF505-7R and H240R as key virulence genes determining the pathogenicity of the ASFV HLJ/18 *** of MGF505-7R,H240R alone or both attenuate the virulence of ASFV HLJ/18 in pigs,providing a paradigm for developing attenuated live vaccines from basic research results.
