Pathogenicity and virulence of lumpy skin disease virus: A comprehensive update [PDF]
VirulenceLumpy skin disease (LSD), which was confined to the Africa for many decades, has expanded its geographical distribution to numerous countries across Asia and Europe in recent years. The LSD virus (LSDV) is a relatively poorly studied virus.

Molecular Determinants of Species-Specific Interactions Between Protein Kinase R and Poxvirus K3 Orthologs [PDF]
VirusesProtein kinase R (PKR) is an antiviral protein that is involved in molecular “arms races” with viral antagonists. As a result, some PKR inhibitors, including the vaccinia virus (VACV) protein K3 and its orthologs from other poxviruses only inhibit PKRs ...
