VAX4ASF aims to develop a state-of-the-art platform to produce highly effective and safe vaccines against ASFV targeted for both domestic pigs and wild boars. These vaccine candidates will be designed based on an innovative and robust vaccine platform that will guarantee immune protection against the different circulating ASFV variantsin Europe, while avoiding the safety concerns arisen with the use of traditional live attenuated vaccine platforms. Vaccine candidates will effectively induce innate immune response with the adequate adaptive immunity. Moreover, the immunity induced will allow discrimination between vaccinated and infected animals, which will be monitored by complementary DIVA tests developed under the scope of the project. Given the complexity of ASFV genome and the still incomplete knowledge of the mechanisms involved in immune response to ASFV, VAX4ASF aims to further understand the molecular mechanisms of the virus and how it interacts with the host. The developed platform can be used to introduce new mutations based in this new generated knowledge which will allow to improve the efficacy and cross-protection of the vaccine prototypes. VAX4ASF will provide new virus epidemiology models and control strategies using different mathematical models, leading to a better understanding of the ASFV transmission at the wild-domestic interface. In this way, innovative policies and strategies for ASFV control and management will be generated to ensure an outstanding impact through the continuous involvement of key stakeholders as project partners (farmers, wild board managers, veterinaries, hunters, policy makers...), leading to a profound effect in animal health and worldwide economy. The project relies on a solid collaboration trajectory between leading developers of innovative Animal Health vaccines and the highest experts in ASF field at international level, including partners from Europe, USA, and Kenya for the achievement of this challenge.

VAX4ASF 旨在开发一个最先进的平台，生产针对家猪和野猪的高效且安全的 ASFV 疫苗。这些候选疫苗将基于创新且强大的疫苗平台进行设计，该平台将确保针对欧洲不同流行的 ASFV 变种提供免疫保护，同时避免使用传统减毒活疫苗平台引起的安全问题。候选疫苗将有效诱导具有足够适应性免疫的先天免疫反应。此外，诱导的免疫力将允许区分接种疫苗的动物和受感染的动物，这将通过在该项目范围内开发的补充 DIVA 测试进行监测。鉴于 ASFV 基因组的复杂性以及对 ASFV 免疫反应机制的了解尚不完整，VAX4ASF 旨在进一步了解病毒的分子机制以及它如何与宿主相互作用。开发的平台可用于基于新生成的知识引入新突变，这将提高疫苗原型的功效和交叉保护。 VAX4ASF 将使用不同的数学模型提供新的病毒流行病学模型和控制策略，从而更好地了解 ASFV 在野生与家养界面的传播。通过这种方式，将产生非洲猪瘟病毒控制和管理的创新政策和战略，通过主要利益相关者作为项目合作伙伴（农民、野生动物管理人员、兽医、猎人、政策制定者……）的持续参与，确保产生显着的影响，对动物健康和全球经济产生深远影响。该项目依赖于创新动物保健疫苗的领先开发商与国际层面非洲猪瘟领域的最高专家（包括来自欧洲、美国和肯尼亚的合作伙伴）之间的坚实合作轨迹，以应对这一挑战。
