Abstract

The pandemic spread of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II (GTII) has led to a global crisis. Since the circulating strains are almost identical, time and money have been mis-invested in whole-genome sequencing the last years. New methods, harmonised protocols for sample selection, sequencing, and bioinformatics are therefore urgently needed.
