Rapid emergence of African swine fever virus variants with different numbers of a tandem repeat sequence in South Korea.

ABSTRACT: African swine fever virus variants with different numbers of a 10-bp tandem repeat were isolated in South Korea soon after being identified in wild boar. The short emergence periods and sympatric distributions within a narrow geographical region suggest that the variants were sporadically generated in the pre-existing viral population.
