March 4, 2021: Kenya tests vaccine candidates against African swine fever A leading research institute in Kenya has started initial trials to test the effectiveness of a vaccine candidate against African swine fever (ASF). The key to controlling ASF is developing an effective vaccine against the disease, said Lucilla Steinaa of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Nairobi. As early as the end of 2020, the ILRI announced that the most modern technology would be used for the development. The researchers are using the CRISPR gene scissors to accelerate the development of a live vaccine. Using CRISPR, ILRI scientists identified vaccine candidates in just over a year, while older techniques may have taken five years to reach the same level. The search for a vaccine against African swine fever continues in China as well. As the Chinese news agency Xinhua reported, testing of a total of ten vaccine candidates has started. The effectiveness against the virus genotype, ...
