Capripoxvirus and Orf Virus

2020
Capripox infections of small ruminants, namely goatpox and sheeppox, are OIE notifiable and transboundary animal diseases. Goatpox and sheeppox are prevalent in some parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia with occasional outbreaks in regions of Europe.

Gene homology between orf virus and smallpox variola virus

Virus Genes, 1996
About 47% identity was observed between the deduced amino acid sequences of a protein encoded by a gene of the parapoxvirus orf virus (OV) strain NZ2 and a 6 kDa protein of unknown function reported to be produced by an open reading frame expressed early after infection by the orthopoxvirus Western Reserve vaccinia virus (VAC); the open reading frame ...

Conservation and variation in orf virus genomes

Virology, 1987
The genomes of several orf virus strains were analyzed with the restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI, and KpnI, and cleavage site maps were deduced. In general, the right half of the genome showed conservation of restriction sites compared with the left half.

Orf virus infection in sheep or goats

Veterinary Microbiology, 2015
Orf virus, a member of the genus Parapoxvirus, is the causative agent of contagious ecthyma ('Orf'). It is a pathogen with worldwide distribution, causing significant financial losses in livestock production. The disease mainly affects sheep and goats, but various other ruminants and mammals have been reported to be infected as well.

Orf virus infection and host immunity

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2006
A summary of recent advances in our knowledge of the biology of orf virus is presented to illustrate the interaction of a zoonotic pathogen with host skin. This is providing novel and interesting data on the viral mechanism of skin infection and the host response.The full genome sequences of two parapoxviruses (orf virus and bovine papular stomatitis ...

Orf virus and vaccinia virus do not cross-protect sheep

Archives of Virology, 1988
Inoculation of lambs with a New Zealand strain of orf virus (NZ 2) failed to protect them against subsequent infection with the Lister strain of vaccinia virus. Similarly, in the reciprocal test, vaccinia virus failed to protect against subsequent orf virus infection. Inoculation with either orf virus or vaccinia virus alone afforded protection against

Virucidal efficacy of common disinfectants against orf virus

Veterinary Record, 2010
ORF virus (OV) infections are present in countries worldwide, and have a considerable economic impact on the agricultural sector. OV infections are regarded as one of the most important diseases affecting the welfare of farmed animals.

Natural transmission of orf virus from clinically normal ewes to orf‐naive sheep

Veterinary Record, 1996
The apparent natural transmission of orf virus from clinically normal ewes to susceptible sheep was observed during a border disease vaccine experiment. The 14 susceptible sheep were persistently infected with border disease virus and had been reared indoors in isolation from other sheep since birth.

The structure and cloning of orf virus DNA

Virology, 1987
A map of cleavage sites for the restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI, HpaI, and KpnI for a New Zealand strain of orf virus (NZ2) DNA has been deduced. Also, the entire genome, apart from approximately 0.1 kbp at each end, has been cloned into various vectors.

Virus particles and antigens in experimental Orf scabs

Archiv f�r die gesamte Virusforschung, 1973
Sequential observations of experimentally induced orf scabs on lambs revealed that complement-fixing antigens, precipitating antigens and virus particles all reached peak levels within one to two weeks. The most sensitive diagnostic technique was the detection of complement-fixing antigen.
