First Molecular Characterisation of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus From the North African Region, Algeria and Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Highlights • Molecular characterisation of the LSDV in Algeria and Tunisia. PCR detection of the presence of the LSDV in 77.9% of the samples collected. • Cattle skin and nasal and buccal swabs were the most virulent material. • Phylogenetic analysis using the p32 gene revealed 100% sequence identity and grouping with GenBank‐published LSDV sequences ...

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

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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

Parapoxvirus real-time PCR v2 [PDF]

, 2018
A real-time PCR for Parapoxvirus targeting the DNA polymerase. It is used to screen human samples where Parapoxvirus is suspected. This protocol is based on the published RVSS assay by Das et al 2017. Oligonucleotides have been modified and a different PCR kit is used.

Similar population dynamics before and after a chytridiomycosis outbreak in a tropical riparian amphibian species

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Emerging infectious diseases can cause rapid, widespread host mortality, and the lack of demographic data before and after pathogen emergence complicates understanding mechanisms of host persistence. This challenge is further compounded by environmental conditions that influence host behavior, while driving pathogen growth and virulence. These

Orf Virus Encoded Protein ORFV119 Induces Cell Apoptosis Through the Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Apoptosis, a significant form of cell death, has a leading role in the host cell defense against virus infection. Viruses have evolved a series of strategies that block apoptosis during the early stage of viral infection to enhance viral replication, and

Novel Multi-Antigen Orf-Virus-Derived Vaccine Elicits Protective Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Response in Monovalent and Bivalent Formats

Vaccines
Prime-2-CoV_Beta is a novel Orf virus (ORFV)-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate expressing both the nucleocapsid and spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 with the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the Beta strain. This candidate was shown to be safe and immunogenic

Infectious Disease Outbreak Associated With Supplementary Feeding of Semi-domesticated Reindeer

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Supplementary winter feeding of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) has become more common in Sweden and Norway due to reindeer pasture fragmentation and climatic conditions.

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Oncolytic Parapoxvirus induces Gasdermin E-mediated pyroptosis and activates antitumor immunity

Nature Communications, 2023
Oncolytic viruses are able to target tumours and thought to induce apoptosis while remodelling the tumour immune microenvironment. Here authors show in an oncolytic parapoxvirus ovis model that pyroptosis, a highly immunogenic Gasdermin-E-dependent cell ...

High C + G Content in Parapoxvirus DNA

Journal of General Virology, 1979
The DNAs of eight parapoxviruses (four stomatitis papulosa viruses isolated from infected calves, a pseudocowpox virus isolated from a teat lesion of an infected cow and three orf viruses, one isolated from an infected sheep and two isolated from human infections) were analysed in CsCl gradients.
