| Education and Career Experiences: Daesub Song, D.V.M. professor of college of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul National University, is an international expert on the virology including research of viral pathogenesis and development of viral vaccines and diagnostics. Dr. Song received D.V.M in 2000 and his PhD of veterinary medicine in 2004 at Seoul national university. His research interests include animal virology (swine viruses), viral vaccine, interspecies transmission of viruses, viral-host interaction, and several viral vaccine developments. He also worked as a member in special task force team of MERS-CoV in the Korean Society of Virology and in the MERS-CoV Korea/WHO joint mission team in 2015. And he served as a member of board of directors in Korea Society for Zoonoses and The Korean Vaccine Society from 2016. From 2015-2022, he worked as a professor in college of pharmacy, Korea University. Dr. Song commercialized the oral porcine epidemic diarrhea virus vaccine that could induce the mucosal immunity and good protection in piglets for the first time in the world. He led the vaccine research team of several swine/canine vaccines and influenza vaccine in various animal species for the preclinical, clinical trials and registration in government. Recently, he focused his work to the preclinical evaluation of several viral vaccines and to develop the zoonotic viral vaccines with adjuvants. His work on interspecies transmission of avian origin flu to dogs and its’ mutations led to the need of investigation of dogs as a potential mixing vessel of flu. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles. |

| Abstract: African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most lethal infectious diseases affecting domestic pigs and wild boars of all ages. Over a span of 100 years, ASF has continued to spread over continents and adversely affects the global pig industry. To date, no vaccine or treatment has been approved. The complex genome structure and diverse variants facilitate the immune evasion of the ASF virus. Recently, advanced technologies have been used to design various potential vaccine candidates and effective diagnostic tools. This review updates vaccine platforms that are currently being used worldwide, with a focus on genetically modified live attenuated vaccines, including an under-standing of their potential efficacy and limitations of safety and stability. Differentiating between infection and vaccination should also be considered in the diagnosis. Furthermore, advanced ASFV detection technologies are presented that discuss and incorporate the challenges that re-main to be addressed for conventional detection methods. We also highlight the nano-bio-based system that enhances sensitivity and specificity. A combination of prophylactic vaccines and point-of-care diagnostics can help effectively control the spread of ASFV. |
