Abstract

African swine fever (ASF) is the number one killer of swine on pig farms and has caused significant harm to pig farming in China since its spread. In this study, we designed a variety of physicochemical factors to explore the biological characteristics of ASF, so as to guide farms to develop disinfection measures.
