Abstract

Viruses are strict intracellular pathogens that require the cellular environment to complete a successful infection. Among them, African swine fever virus (ASFV) is an evolutionary ancient DNA virus, endemic in Africa, which is nowadays causing an emergent disease in Europe with a potential high economic impact in the pig industry. It is well known that host-cell components are critical crossroads mapping the virus path for a productive infection, some of them at the endocytic pathway. Considering that ASFV infectious cycle strongly relies in several factors from the host cell, the study of virus–host interactions remains crucial as they will reveal the obstacles, routes and tracks, hints and the target waypoint in the virus journey to destination.
