Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling Identifies a Core Gene–Metabolite Axis Driving African Swine Fever Virus Replication in the Soft Tick Ornithodoros lahorensis
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes an incurable swine disease with nearly 100% mortality, posing a catastrophic threat to global pig production. The soft tick Ornithodoros lahorensis acts as a critical biological vector that sustains persistent ASFV replication and mediates long‐distance viral transmission, yet th...
