A Review of Infectious and Non‐Infectious Causes of Pregnancy Loss in Goats

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Goats play a vital role in global agriculture, particularly in developing regions, and are increasingly kept as companion animals. Given their economic and social importance, pregnancy losses in goats represent a substantial challenge, leading to considerable economic losses and raising concerns about animal welfare and public health, as some ...

Phylogenetic analysis of Moroccan sheeppox virus isolates based on P32 gene

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2019
Sheeppox virus (SPPV) is considered a highly contagious disease in sheep by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). It is classified with Goatpox virus (GTPV) and Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) within the Capripoxvirus (CaPV) genus. SPPV causes

A gel-based PCR method to differentiate sheeppox virus field isolates from vaccine strains

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Sheeppox (SPP) and goatpox (GTP) caused by sheeppox virus (SPPV) and goatpox virus (GTPV), respectively of the genus Capripoxvirus in the family Poxviridae, are severely afflicting small ruminants’ production systems in Africa and Asia.

Characterization of a Nigerian Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Isolate after Experimental Infection of Cattle

Pathogens, 2021
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), together with sheeppox virus and goatpox virus, belong to the genus Capripoxvirus within the family Poxviridae. Collectively, they are considered the most serious poxvirus diseases of agricultural livestock.

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 ...

Research Review on Inhibitors of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus: From Biological Characteristics, Drug Repurposing, to Computer‐Aided Drug Design

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This review summarizes the research progress on inhibitors of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), focusing on its biological characteristics and key proteins involved in the viral replication cycle. It compiles various inhibitors (direct‐acting poxvirus inhibitors and host‐directed poxvirus inhibitors) against poxviruses, their mechanisms of action, and ...

Development of a potential vaccine against Capripox virus implementing reverse vaccinology and pan-genomic immunoinformatics.

PLoS ONE
CPXV is responsible for animal diseases affecting cattle (Lumpy Skin Disease), sheep (Sheeppox), and goats (Goatpox). During outbreaks, these diseases have huge socio-economic effects.

Epidemiological Study and Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle in Egypt

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) constitutes one of the most significant poxvirus infections impacting livestock and has a high morbidity rate and a comparatively low mortality rate. This study was designed to elucidate the epidemiology and the molecular analysis of LSDV using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the extracellular ...

Use of an Alignment-Free Method for the Geographical Discrimination of GTPVs Based on the GPCR Sequences

Microorganisms, 2021
Goatpox virus (GTPV) belongs to the genus Capripoxvirus, together with sheeppox virus (SPPV) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). GTPV primarily affects sheep, goats and some wild ruminants.
