African Swine Fever: pathogenicity | The pathogenicity of two groups of African swine fever virus isolates from Cameroon in domestic Pigs

Recording of the responses of pigs infected with the CAM/88 and CAM/86 ASF virus isolates selected to represent the two groups circulating within the pig population in Cameroon.
