摘要African swine fever(ASF)is a highly contagious and acute hemorrhagic viral disease with a high mortality approaching 100％in domestic pigs.ASF is an endemic in countries in sub-Saharan Africa.Now,it has been spreading to many countries,especially in Asia and Europe.Due to the fact that there is no commercial vaccine available for ASF to provide sustainable prevention,the disease has spread rapidly worldwide and caused great economic losses in swine industry.The knowledge gap of ASF virus(ASFV)pathogenesis and immune evasion is the main factor to limit the development of safe and effective ASF vaccines.Here,we will summarize the mo-lecular mechanisms of how ASFV interferes with the host innate and adaptive immune responses.An in-depth understanding of ASFV immune evasion strategies will provide us with rational design of ASF vaccines.
