ENDEMIC ORTHOPOXVIRUS CIRCULATING IN PROCYONIDS IN MEXICO [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016
Limited serosurveillance studies suggested that orthopoxviruses (OPXV) are widespread in the US (e.g., Raccoonpox virus, Skunkpox virus, Volepox virus) and Brazil (Vaccinia virus); however, their animal reservoir(s) remain unconfirmed. Mexican mammal diversity includes several species related to those in which evidence for OPXV infections has been ...
