Molecular Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Orf Virus From Dermatological Lesions in the Teats of Goats. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Viral DNA (orf virus) was detected in tissue samples using the semi‐nested PCR method. In addition, the data obtained by performing sequence analyses of the amplicons with positive results were compared with the information of different orf virus isolates registered in the GenBank database.

Immunomodulatory Strategies for Parapoxvirus: Current Status and Future Approaches for the Development of Vaccines against Orf Virus Infection

Vaccines, 2021
Orf virus (ORFV), the prototype species of the parapoxvirus genus, is the causative agent of contagious ecthyma, an extremely devastating skin disease of sheep, goats, and humans that causes enormous economic losses in livestock production. ORFV is known

Parapoxvirus Interleukin-10 Homologues Vary in Their Receptor Binding, Anti-Inflammatory, and Stimulatory Activities

Pathogens, 2022
Homologues of interleukin (IL)-10, a pleiotropic immunomodulatory cytokine, have been identified in the Parapoxvirus genus. The first identified, Orf virus (ORFV) IL-10, greatly enhanced infection of its host, exhibiting immune modulatory effects ...

Orf Virus-Based Vectors Preferentially Target Professional Antigen-Presenting Cells, Activate the STING Pathway and Induce Strong Antigen-Specific T Cell Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundOrf virus (ORFV)-based vectors are attractive for vaccine development as they enable the induction of potent immune responses against specific transgenes. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms of immune activation remain unknown.
