Phylogenetic analysis of B2L gene of Egyptian orf virus from naturally infected sheep [PDF]
VirusDisease, 2015 Orf is a viral disease caused by a parapoxvirus, affecting primarily sheep and goats and causes severe economic losses. In this study, a total of 500 sheep from a farm in El-Beheira Governorate, Egypt were examined during spring, 2014. Out of them, 30 sheep showed clinical signs of orf virus infection. The diseased sheep exhibited proliferative lesions

Phylogenetic analysis of eight sudanese camel contagious ecthyma viruses based on B2L gene sequence [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2015 Camel contagious ecthyma (CCE) is an important viral disease of camelids caused by a poxvirus of the genus parapoxvirus (PPV) of the family Poxviridae. The disease has been reported in west and east of the Sudan causing economical losses. However, the PPVs that cause the disease in camels of the Sudan have not yet subjected to genetic characterization.

Comparison and phylogenetic analysis based on the B2L gene of orf virus from goats and sheep in China during 2009-2011. [PDF]
Arch Virol, 2014 As a zoonotic infectious disease, orf outbreaks have been reported in China in recent years. However, molecular epidemiology analysis has not been performed for Chinese orf virus (ORFV) strains. Here, we have identified 13 ORFVs from goats and sheep in China between 2009 and 2011. Thirty-four complete B2L sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic

Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of B2L Gene of ORF Virus from Clinical Cases of Sheep in Serbia [PDF]
Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2019 Infection of sheep by the ORF virus (ORFV) is very common in Serbia. ORFV is an economically important viral disease, distributed worldwide. Phylogenetic analysis based on the B2L gene of Serbian ORFV strains from two outbreaks that occurred in Serbia in 2016 is presented in this paper.

Molecular Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Orf Virus From Dermatological Lesions in the Teats of Goats. [PDF]
Vet Med SciViral DNA (orf virus) was detected in tissue samples using the semi‐nested PCR method. In addition, the data obtained by performing sequence analyses of the amplicons with positive results were compared with the information of different orf virus isolates registered in the GenBank database.

Genetic Phylocomparative Analysis of B2L, F1L Genes in Orf Virus Isolated from Felid Infected Sheep [PDF]
Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023 Contagious ecthyma virus Large, oval, double-stranded DNA viruses from the family Poxviridae they are distinct from other poxviruses due to their unusual spiral coat. Orf virus encoded highly conserved F1L gene, B2L gene, which codes for highly immunogenic envelope protein. Orf lesions were observed on the upper and lower lips, upper and/or lower
