## TL;DR

African swine fever virus from a wild boar in India has genome similarities to pig strains but with unique mutations.

## Contribution

The study identifies unique mutations in the African swine fever virus genome from a wild boar in India.

## Key findings

- The virus genome showed ≈99% nucleotide identity with domestic pig-origin strains.
- Unique mutations were detected in the wild boar-isolated virus genome.

## Abstract

Complete genome analysis of African swine fever virus isolated from a wild boar in Mizoram, India, revealed ≈99% nucleotide identity with those of domestic pig origin but with unique mutations. A One Health approach toward food security necessitates awareness among veterinary and public health professionals on virus evolution and domestic–wild pig transmission.
