Abstract

Abstract: African swine fever virus variants with different numbers of a 10‐bp tandem repeat were isolated in South Korea soon after being identified in wild boar. The short emergence periods and sympatric distributions within a narrow geographical region suggest that the variants were sporadically generated in the pre‐existing viral population.
