Kenya and Vietnam are leading the development of a vaccine against African swine fever (ASF), using modern technologies like CRISPR to accelerate the process. Kenya has identified vaccine candidates in under a year, while Vietnam is breeding pigs to produce antibodies against the virus, with expectations to have the vaccine by Q3 2021. In England, a new vaccine has been developed that provides 100% safety and can differentiate between infected and vaccinated pigs. An Icelandic team has created a genetic test to detect the ASF virus in pigs and products, aiding in the detection of the virus in imported goods. China has also developed an effective vaccine, and US scientists are working on an experimental vaccine.
