We established a novel red river hog-derived macrophage cell line (RZJ/IBM cell line) that can be used to elucidate the pathogenicity of African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection, which is a major global challenge faced by pig farming. This elucidation is expected to pave way for the prevention of ASF and the development of an ASF vaccine
