Résumé
African swine fever (ASF) is a notifiable contagious disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), leading to a serious socio-economic impact, constraining pig industry, and affecting food security worldwide. This study aimed to detect and characterize ASFV strains from suspected infected domestic pigs in two South-Kivu province districts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). A total of 155 pig samples were screened for viral DNA and sequencing at multiple loci. An infection rate of 5.2% (8/155) was recorded from a total of 155 blood samples with the highest ASFV infection rate of 8% for Uvira (6/75) and mostly in female pigs 5 (7.6%). Most ASF associated clinical signs were redness on the skin and snout at 49% (95% CI: 21-34), followed by the unwillingness of pigs to stand at 29 % (95%, CI: 19-35). Phylogenetic analysis of partial
