Abstract

Background and Aim: African swine fever (ASF) is a disease that emerged in Indonesia in 2019 in the North Sumatra province and spread rapidly to other areas, such as South Sumatra and Lampung, in 2020. This study aimed to identify the phylogenetics of the ASF virus (ASFV) in the provinces of South Sumatra and Lampung.

Materials and Methods: Nine ASFV isolates collected from the Disease Investigation Center in Lampung were used in this study. The isolates were from ASF cases in South Sumatra and Lampung in 2020-2022. The isolates were sequenced and compared with other ASFV isolates to establish the virus genotype. Sequencing was performed using the complete E183L gene target encoding the p54 protein.

Results: This study showed that ASFV from South Sumatera and Lampung Province belongs to genotype II.

Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the E183L gene, all nine ASFV isolates that originated from South Sumatra and Lampung were identical to other genotype II ASFV isolates from Georgia, China, Vietnam, and Timor Leste.

Keywords: African swine fever virus genotype, Lampung, phylogenetic tree, South Sumatra.
