Regulations and restrictions are placed on swine movement to limit the spread of the virus. However, these are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if high-pressure processing (HPP) sanitization techniques would be effective against the ASF virus. Here, it was hypothesized that HPP could inactivate or reduce ASF virus infectivity in tissue homogenates. To test this hypothesis, 30 aliquots of each homogenate (spleen, kidney, loin) were challenge-infected with the Turin\/83 strain of ASF, at a 10 7.20 median hemadsorption dose (HAD)50\/mL. Subsequently, eight aliquots of each homogenate were treated with 600 millipascal (600 MPa) HPP for 3, 5, and 7 min. Six untreated aliquots were used as the controls. Virological results showed a reduction in the viral titer of more than 7-log. These results support the validity of the study hypothesis since HPP treatment was effective in inactivating ASFV in artificially prepared samples. Overall, this study suggests the need for further investigation of other ASFV-contaminated meat products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v16040638","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,19]],"date-time":"2024-04-19T10:53:17Z","timestamp":1713523997000},"page":"638","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["High-Pressure Processing of Different Tissue Homogenates from Pigs Challenged with the African Swine Fever Virus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8689-832X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Petrini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Brutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SSICA Stazione Sperimentale per l\u2019Industria delle Conserve Alimentari, Fondazione di Ricerca Parma, 43121 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Casciari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Davide","family":"Calderone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Industriali delle Carni e dei Salumi (ASSICA), 20089 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michela","family":"Pela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3422-0699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Giammarioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0286-7428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Righi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9131-996X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Feliziani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Centre for Pestiviruses and Asfivirus, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Umbria-Marche \u201cTogo Rosati\u201d, Via Gaetano Salvemini, 1, 06126 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"613","DOI":"10.1099\/jgv.0.001049","article-title":"ICTV Report Consortium ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Asfarviridae","volume":"99","author":"Alonso","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
