# Near-complete genome of two genotype II African swine fever viruses recovered from domestic pigs in Tanzania

## TL;DR

This study sequenced two nearly complete genomes of a specific type of African swine fever virus found in pigs in Tanzania.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data of genotype II African swine fever viruses from Tanzania using nanopore sequencing.

## Key findings

- Two near-complete genomes of genotype II ASFV were sequenced from domestic pigs in Tanzania.
- The genomes were closely related to other genotype II isolates globally.

## Abstract

Two near-complete genomes of genotype II African swine fever viruses (ASFV) recovered from domestic pigs in Mbozi district, Tanzania, in 2017 were generated using tiled amplicon Oxford nanopore sequencing. These two ASFV genomes described in this study were closely related to other genotype II isolates reported worldwide.
