About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to The Pirbright Institute for a research project aimed at supporting novel intervention strategies to combat African swine fever (ASF), a viral haemorrhagic fever of domestic pigs spreading across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The project, funded under the EU ICRAD ERA-NET scheme with a contract value of £495,901, seeks to identify mechanisms by which African swine fever virus (ASFV) manipulates cellular pathways to aid replication and evade host immune responses, thereby supporting vaccine design and identifying potential targets for antiviral therapies.
