ASFV-EpiBase is a specialized database dedicated to antigens and epitopes of African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASFV is a highly contagious viral disease that threatens global pig production, causing severe economic losses and representing a major challenge for animal health and food security. Despite decades of research, no effective commercial vaccine is currently available, making the discovery of novel epitopes and vaccine candidates a critical priority.

ASFV-EpiBase has been developed to address this urgent need by providing a centralized, curated, and comprehensive resource for ASFV immunological data. It integrates information from experimentally validated studies as well as computational predictions, enabling researchers to:

• Explore antigens and epitopes specific to ASFV across multiple strains and isolates.
• Access detailed annotations on immune response, host species, antigen localization, and experimental evidence.
• Compare epitope profiles to support the design of multi-epitope vaccines, diagnostics, and immunotherapeutics.
• Bridge genomics and immunoinformatics, offering insights into ASFV antigenicity and immune evasion mechanisms
