Virology Journal, 2020 Background Sheeppox and goatpox are both economically important animal diseases in which pathogens are goatpox virus (GTPV) and sheeppox virus (SPPV). They can’t cause cross-species infection between sheep and goats in general. But in recent decades, the

Development of a SYBR Green I real-time PCR for the detection of the orf virus [PDF]
, 2017 Orf is a non-systemic, ubiquitous disease of sheep and goats caused by the orf virus (ORFV). ORFV occasionally causes cutaneous lesions in humans in contact with infected animals. In the present study, a real-time PCR method was established for detection

Evolution of DNA ligases of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses of eukaryotes: a case of hidden complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Background Eukaryotic Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) encode most if not all of the enzymes involved in their DNA replication. It has been inferred that genes for these enzymes were already present in the last common ancestor of the NCLDV ...

Development of duplex PCR for differential detection of goatpox and sheeppox viruses
BMC Veterinary Research, 2017 Background Clinically, sheeppox and goatpox have the same symptoms and cannot be distinguished serologically. A cheaper and easy method for differential diagnosis is important in control of this disease in endemic region.

Identification of multiple independent horizontal gene transfers into poxviruses using a comparative genomics approach [PDF]
, 2008 Background Poxviruses are important pathogens of humans, livestock and wild animals. These large dsDNA viruses have a set of core orthologs whose gene order is extremely well conserved throughout poxvirus genera.

Lumpy skin disease: a significant threat to Australia [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2022 Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a severe, vector-borne disease that affects cattle and Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).1 All breeds of cattle are susceptible, but both beef and high milk producing Bos taurus animals are more susceptible than Bos ...
