Figure legends:
Fig. 1: Adsorption of porcine Red blood cells over African swine fever virus-infected monocytes in porcine monocyte culture (Magnification 100x).
Fig. 2: Insertion/deletion of nucleotides at various position in sequences of Indian ASFVs as compared to Georgia/2007 ASFV. ∆- indicates nucleotide deletion.
Fig. 3: Insertion of one extra TRS in the intergenic region between I73R and I329L in Indian isolates as compared to Georgia/2007 ASFV.
Fig. 4: Synonymous and non-synonymous SNPs across the genome of selected P-72 genotype-II ASFVs as compared to Indian ASFVs. * - indicates Synonymous SNPs, Unique SNPs are indicated in red colour.
Fig.5: ML tree generated from complete genome sequences (MAFFT aligned) using GTR plus gamma model in RAxML-NG showing relationship between Indian and other ASFVs. The branch length indicates the number of expected substitutions per site.
Fig. 6: Maximum-Likelihood phylogenetic tree generated using GTR plus gamma model in RAxML-NG showing relationship between Indian and other p72 genotype II full length ASFV sequences. The branch length indicates the no. of expected substitutions per site (tree rooted at mid-point).
Fig. 7: Maximum likelihood tree constructed based on concatenated sequences of genes with SNPs using Tamura–Nei parameter model of Mega X (1000 bootstrap iterations) showed clustering of Indian viruses with other Asian p72 genotype-II ASFVs (bootstrap values > 60 is shown over the nodes).
