Vaccines : Can CRISPR help stop African swine fever? : The viral disease has killed close to 2 million pigs globally since 2021
[...] The development of this new ASFV vaccine candidate was a collaborative effort involving ILRI, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), and Walter Fuchs and his team based at the Friedrich Loeffler Institute in Greifswald, Germany. The researchers’ focus was coming up with an effective vaccine to be used in East Africa against genotype IX of the disease. They aim to expand the approach and perhaps eventually deploy it worldwide. ILRI used the CRISPR method to knock out individual genes, while JCVI researchers used their synthetic biology expertise.
