Use of an Alignment-Free Method for the Geographical Discrimination of GTPVs Based on the GPCR Sequences

Microorganisms, 2021
Goatpox virus (GTPV) belongs to the genus Capripoxvirus, together with sheeppox virus (SPPV) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). GTPV primarily affects sheep, goats and some wild ruminants.

Which Proteins? The Challenge of Identifying the Protective Antigens for Next-Generation Capripoxvirus Vaccines

Vaccines
Sheeppox, goatpox, and lumpy skin disease continue to negatively impact the sheep, goat, and cattle industries in countries where these diseases are present and threaten to spread into new regions. Effective vaccines are available for disease control and

Comparing Feed Intake, Digestibility, Growth and Economic Gain of Horro and Washera Sheep Breeds Fed Wheat Straw Basal Diet Supplemented With Effective Microorganisms Treated Wheat Straw and Concentrate Mixture

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
After 100 daysof feeding, this study showed that effective microorganism‐treated wheat strawfeeding at 15% TDMI (A2) vs. 10% TDMI (A1) improved body weight gain andresulted in 279 more net returns over A1‐fed sheep. The findings also revealedthat Washera sheepgained higher body weight and economic gain than Horro sheep.

A gel-based PCR method to differentiate sheeppox virus field isolates from vaccine strains

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Sheeppox (SPP) and goatpox (GTP) caused by sheeppox virus (SPPV) and goatpox virus (GTPV), respectively of the genus Capripoxvirus in the family Poxviridae, are severely afflicting small ruminants’ production systems in Africa and Asia.

Replication and Virulence in Cattle of the First Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Isolated in Xinjiang, China (2019)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Before 2012, lumpy skin disease (LSD) was primarily confined to African countries. However, it rapidly spread to the Middle East and Southeast Europe, reaching the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Russian Federation by 2015. The first confirmed case in China was reported on August 10, 2019, in Yili, Xinjiang, and on August 26, the Chinese government ...

Characterization of a Nigerian Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Isolate after Experimental Infection of Cattle

Pathogens, 2021
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), together with sheeppox virus and goatpox virus, belong to the genus Capripoxvirus within the family Poxviridae. Collectively, they are considered the most serious poxvirus diseases of agricultural livestock.

Genetic Evolutionary Analysis of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strain Under Immune Pressure Exerted by Heterologous Goat Poxvirus Vaccines

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an important infectious disease that threatens the global cattle industry. Recently, LSD has occurred frequently in Asia. The attenuated goat poxvirus (GTPV) vaccine is widely used to prevent LSD in cattle in China; however, sporadic cases of LSD still occur in immunized cattle.

Potential of Using Capripoxvirus Vectored Vaccines Against Arboviruses in Sheep, Goats, and Cattle

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
The genus capripoxvirus consists of sheeppox virus, goatpox virus, and lumpy skin disease virus, which affect sheep, goats, and cattle, respectively. Together capripoxviruses cause significant economic losses to the sheep, goat, and cattle industry where

Development of membrane protein‐based vaccine against lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) using immunoinformatic tools

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 3, May 2024.
Following the retrieval of the Membrane glycoprotein of LSDV (Gene Bank ID: QIN91553.1), it was subjected to analysis for B‐ and T‐cell epitopes and other parameters. Subsequently, the construct for the 3D structure of the vaccine chimera was generated.
