Characterization of sheep pox virus vaccine for cattle against lumpy skin disease virus

Development of an Attenuated Live Virus Vaccine against Sheep Pox

Evaluation of Humoral and Cell-mediated Immunity of Two Capripoxvirus Vaccine Strains against Lumpy Skin Disease Virus

Background and Aims: Prevention of Lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle is heavily dependent on vaccination. Since the genetic structure of LSD virus has the close relatedness with other Capri-pox virus (CaPV). Therefore, the use of vaccine strains of CaPV derived from sheep and goat would be useful to protect cattle against LSD. Materials and Methods: The susceptible calves of dairy farms were ...

Serum Biochemistry of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus-Infected Cattle

Lumpy skin disease is an economically important poxvirus disease of cattle. Vaccination is the main method of control but sporadic outbreaks have been reported in Turkey. This study was carried out to determine the changes in serum biochemical values of cattle naturally infected with lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). For this study, blood samples in EDTA, serum samples, and nodular skin lesions ...

Genome of lumpy skin disease virus.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), a member of the capripoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae, is the etiologic agent of an important disease of cattle in Africa. Here we report the genomic sequence of LSDV. The 151-kbp LSDV genome consists of a central coding region bounded by identical 2.4 kbp-inverted terminal repeats and contains 156 putative genes. Comparison of LSDV with chordopoxviruses of othe...

FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT FORMAT R5033CB Field Trials of the Capripox/Rinderpest Recombinant Virus

Diseases caused by capripox viruses affects around 650 million sheep & goats (pox diseases) and 250 million cattle (lumpy skin disease). This constitutes a massive economic burden for many resourcepoor farmers in Africa, damaging their livelihoods and ability to increase their income. The current vaccines are expensive and difficult to deliver as they need a sophisticated cold chain. The purpos...
