Modulation of macrophage functions by sheeppox virus provides clues to understand interaction of the virus with host immune system [PDF]
Background Poxviruses encode a range of immunomodulatory genes to subvert or evade the challenges posed by the innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the inactivated poxviruses possessed immunostimulating capacity and were used as a prophylactic ...

Epidemiological Study and Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle in Egypt. [PDF]
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) constitutes one of the most significant poxvirus infections impacting livestock and has a high morbidity rate and a comparatively low mortality rate. This study was designed to elucidate the epidemiology and the molecular analysis of LSDV using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the extracellular ...

Molecular Characterization and Epidemiology of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus in Bhutan, 2023. [PDF]
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a disease of cattle and other ruminants caused by the LSD Virus (LSDV). LSD infections are characterized by high morbidity, low mortality, and significant economic impact. Initially endemic to Africa only, LSD has spread to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia in the past decade.

Phylogenetic Analysis, Morphological Characteristics, and Cellular Tropism of Vaccine-Like Recombinant Strains of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus in China. [PDF]
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes lumpy skin disease (LSD), a highly contagious cattle disease that leads to substantial economic losses to the global cattle industry. Currently, it is imperative to further elucidate its biological characteristics and analyze the global epidemiological dynamics.
