African swine fever virus impairs porcine alveolar macrophages bactericidal function by disrupting lysosomal acidification and cathepsin activity
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a devastating pathogen that poses a severe threat to the global swine industry. ASFV primarily targets the porcine monocyte-macrophage system, which is crucial for defending against bacterial infections via phagocytosis and subsequent intracellular degradation. Clinically, ASFV infec...
