Between June 2017 and April 2018, an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) affected wild boar in the southeast of the Czech Republic. Here, we present the whole-genome sequence of the causative ASF virus. It belongs to genotype II and shows very high identity with other strains from Eastern Europe.
