Therapeutic Outcomes of an Herbal Remedy in Treating and Preventing African Swine Fever: A Real-World Evidence Report

Abstract

Backgound: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease characterized by a 100% case fatality rate in domestic pigs, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Recent studies suggest that Marecipe AV, an herbal therapeutic may provide significant therapeutic benefits against severe viral infections.

Methods: This study involved treating domestic pigs diagnosed with African swine fever (ASF) or exposed to the African swine fever virus (ASFV) with Marecipe AV herbal medicine. Mortality rates were recorded in both the treated group and an untreated control group to evaluate efficacy.

Results: Oral administration of Marecipe AV herbal medicine significantly reduced mortality in infected domestic pigs, with rates declining from 100% in the control group to between 0% and 28.6% in treated animals (P < 0.001). All survivors exhibited full clinical recovery and viral clearance. Furthermore, prophylactic treatment afforded 100% protection against ASF challenge, resulting in 0% mortality and 0% disease incidence, compared to 100% in the untreated control group.

Conclusion: Marecipe AV herbal therapeutics has shown potent effectiveness in both treating and preventing African swine fever in domestic pigs, achieving complete containment of the disease.
