HighlightsImmunised pigs with BeninΔMGF were protected against parental virulent ASFV strain.To improve safety and efficacy new doses and routes of immunisation were tested.Intramuscular immunisation of high doses showed the best percentage of protection.A new ELISA detected specific IgM antibodies at early stages after ASFV infection.Early induction of IFNγ and IL-10 in vaccinated pigs probably critical to protection.
