Abstract
The presence of infectious ASFV in stable flies following feeding on viremic blood means that such flies are capable of transporting infectious virus. The detection of ASFV DNA in the flies for up to three days following feeding suggests that qPCR analysis of blood-feeding flies during ASFV outbreaks could be a useful method to elucidate the role of these flies in ASFV transmission under field conditions.
