African swine fever (ASF) is endemic to several parts of the word, with outbreaks of the disease devastating the swine farming industry; currently, no commercially available vaccine exists. Here, we report that deletion of the previously uncharacterized QP509L and QP383R viral genes completely attenuates virulence in the ASF virus (ASFV) CN/GS/2018 isolate.
