Molecular Characterisation of Orf Virus in Goats From Eastern Türkiye. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study provides the molecular characterisation of Orf virus (ORFV) strains circulating in Türkiye. Phylogenetic analysis of F1L, B2L, and VIR genes reveals high genetic similarity with Asian and global isolates, highlighting the importance of multi‐gene analysis in monitoring viral outbreaks and understanding disease origins.

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Orf Virus in Goats With Clinical Signs From Four Districts of Tanzania. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
ABSTRACT Background: Orf virus (ORFV), a zoonotic member of the genus Parapoxvirus, causes contagious ecthyma in sheep and goats and poses significant economic and public health concerns. Despite frequent outbreaks, molecular data on ORFV circulating in Tanzania remain scarce.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of TLR-4, HSP-70 and Caspase-3 Expressions in Lesional Areas of Ecthyma Disease. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Background: Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a highly contagious, economically significant disease affecting sheep, goats and wild small ruminants, caused by the resilient Orf virus (ORFV). It produces thick, crusted lesions around the mouth and nostrils, especially in animals aged 3–4 months, sometimes causing near 100% mortality in immunocompromised young

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 ...

A Case of Cowpox Presenting as Progressive Unilateral Facial Swelling and Fever Without Any Skin Lesions. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Introduction Although a rare infection, sporadic human cases of cowpox do occur in endemic areas, often through contact with an infected cat. Cats are also incidental hosts but provide an important intermediary to the animal reservoir for cowpox, which in the United Kingdom (UK) includes bank and field voles. Case Discussion We present a case of cowpox

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.

Pathogen surveillance in Southern Ocean pinnipeds

Polar Research, 2020
Knowledge of the health status and potential effect of disease outbreaks among Southern Ocean fauna may be decisive for its conservation. We assessed the exposure and infection of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella, AFS) and Southern elephant ...

Atypical Parapoxvirus Infection in Sheep [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2002
Abstract This report describes the clinical and laboratory findings for 5 sheep from 3 different flocks with extensive proliferative skin lesions grossly resembling warts on the distal limbs. The lesions affected the front and rear extremities in all sheep, and 2 sheep also had lesions around the head.
