Coinfection kinetics of goatpox virus and peste-des-petits-ruminants virus in Vero cells

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Goatpox, sheeppox, and peste-des-petits-ruminants (PPR) are economically important virus diseases affecting goats and sheep, which often cause coinfection/comorbidities in the field. Coinfection with these viruses leads to enhanced infection in natural scenarios in terms of morbidities and mortalities. Currently, individual live attenuated vaccines are

First Molecular Characterisation of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus From the North African Region, Algeria and Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Highlights • Molecular characterisation of the LSDV in Algeria and Tunisia. PCR detection of the presence of the LSDV in 77.9% of the samples collected. • Cattle skin and nasal and buccal swabs were the most virulent material. • Phylogenetic analysis using the p32 gene revealed 100% sequence identity and grouping with GenBank‐published LSDV sequences ...
