vaccine
Full protection against a challenge using the CSFV highly virulent strain after two doses. [81,84]
E2-CD154 Subunit
vaccine
CD154 as a molecular adjuvant enhancing the immune response.
Full protection against the challenge of virulent strains of CSFV as earlier as 7 dpv after a single vaccine dose and in the absence of protective neutralizing antibodies.

Stable for at least 24 months at room temperature.
[105,106,113]
Suvaxyn® CSF Marker Live marker
vaccine
(chimeric)
Clinical and virological protection after the challenge against virulent and moderate CSFV strain.
Complete protections after a week of applying a single intramuscular dose, and the immune protection for at least 6 months.
Genetically stable.
Prevent against the vertical transmission of the moderate virulent CSFV strain in pregnant sows.
[125,128,129,131,140]
vRiemsABC-Gif Live marker
vaccine
(chimeric)
Protection against a virulent CSFV challenge after intramuscular vaccination, partial protection after oral immunization. [133]
CP7_E2gif Live marker
vaccine
(chimeric)
Induced partial protection with no transmission after challenge with
CSFV virulent strain 28 days post vaccination.
Safety and marker properties
[127,134]
Flc-LOM-BErns Live marker
vaccine
(chimeric)

FlagT4Gv Live marker vaccine
(two antigenic markers)
Full protection in swine since day 2 or 3 dpv depending on the route of administration (intramuscularly or intranasally, respectively).
Provide sterile immunity against challenge with the virulent parental virus beginning at 3 dpv, as well as increased levels of IFN-α in vaccinated animals
[115,148,149]
“Ra,” “Pro,” and “RaPro” Live marker

vaccine
Marker properties [137]
VRP A187delE(rns) Replicon
vaccine
Protection at 23 days post vaccination against challenge with a single intradermal inoculation elicited anti-E2 neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses determined by an increase in IFN-γ producing cells. [148]
rAdV-SFV-E2 Replicon
vaccine
Elicit strong cellular and humoral responses in pigs.
Providing sterile immunity and complete protection against lethal challenge using virulent CSFV strain 7 weeks after double vaccination.
Protection through maternally derived antibodies.
Enhancement through Salmonella ghost adjuvant.
