Parapoxvirus in goats: experimental infection and genomic analysis

Veterinary Research Communications, 2008
Parapoxvirus are DNA viruses belonging to the family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopox- virinae. The genus encompasses four species: the bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) and the pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) both of which infect cattle; the type species, Orf virus (OV) that causes contagious ectyma in sheep and goats and the parapoxvirus of New Zealand

A homologue of retroviral pseudoproteases in the parapoxvirus, orf virus

Virology, 1989
The nucleotide sequence of a near-terminal region of orf virus DNA was determined. Examination of the sequence revealed an open reading frame encoding a peptide with significant amino acid homology to the pseudoprotease domains recently identified in a number of retroviruses including mouse mammary tumor virus, simian Mason-Pfizer virus, maedi-visna ...

Red squirrels and the parapoxvirus

Veterinary Nursing Journal, 2008
The parapoxvirus is a member of the poxvirus family and it is only found in the British Isles. The incidence of parapoxvirus is highest in England and Wales. It was not discovered in Scotland until 2007 when the first five cases were isolated. The parapoxvirus is highly pathogenic in red squirrels.

Immunomodulation by virulence proteins of the parapoxvirus orf virus

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1999
Three orf virus putative virulence proteins are described that exhibit immunomodulatory functions. The OVIFNR gene at the left terminus of the viral genome encodes an interferon resistance protein with homology to the E3L gene of vaccinia virus. OVIFNR functions by preventing a dsRNA-dependent kinase from inhibiting virus and cell protein synthesis as ...

Orf, a Human Parapoxvirus Infection

Despite being common worldwide, parapoxvirus infections are regarded as neglected zoonoses because their incidence is either unknown or grossly overestimated. In ruminants all throughout the world, parapoxvirus produces oral lesions and infectious pustular dermatitis.

Surveillance of Parapoxvirus Among Ruminants in Virginia and Connecticut

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2013
SummaryIn 2008, two deer hunters in Virginia and Connecticut were infected with a unique strain of pseudocowpox virus, a parapoxvirus. To estimate the prevalence of this virus, and in an attempt to define the reservoir, Parapoxvirus surveillance was undertaken between November 2009 and January 2010.

Molecular biology of parapoxvirus infection

2008
The Parapoxviruses represent a genus within the chordo-poxvirus subfamily of Poxviridae, and are characterised by their ability to cause disease in livestock, semi-domesticated species, wildlife and humans. ruminants and humans. The genus currently contains four recognised species of virus, orf virus, the prototypic species, that infects sheep and ...
