Abstract
Classical
Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) is the cause of an
economically important and contagious disease in all
age groups of pigs. Advances in molecular methods
have facilitated genetic typing of this virus which
is useful for classification, to trace patterns of
virus spread and exposing the weaknesses in control
strategies. Moreover, the genetic comparison of the
isolates obtained from a series of outbreaks with
known linkages can be used to validate and to
interpret the genetic typing to determine the rate
of virus mutation in the field. The CSF viruses are
grouped into three groups under which there are ten
subgroups. This review highlights the works on
phylogenetic analysis carried out by different
workers from time to time in different parts of the
world including India to have better understanding
of the diversified genogrouping of this virus.
