Notes
Researchers in South Africa have been striving to produce a vaccine against swine fever for the past 40 years. The Agricultural Research Council and the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute are working on breeding of a tolerant species based on resistance observed in certain animals. They are focusing on the Angonia region, in Mozambique near the border with Malawi, where the endemic persistence of swine fever raises the likelihood of finding a group of animals with resistance acquired through natural selection.
