virulence in african swine fever: its measurement and implications.	a method of measuring and expressing the virulence of african swine fever virus in numerical terms was developed. seventeen viruses (13 hemadsorbing and 4 nonhemadsorbing) were tested and classified into 3 groups: highly infectious and highly virulent, highly infectious and moderately virulent, and slightly infectious and slightly virulent. this classification was based on the number of 50% hemadsorption unit (ha50) or tcid50 required to produce 1 ld50 for swine, the number of ha50 or tcid50 req ...	1984	6711963
