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 ...

Prevalence and economic significance of goat pox virus disease in semi-arid provinces of Iran

BACKGROUND: Caprine pox virus disease play an important role in major constraints to small ruminants production in Iran. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted in different districts of Iran to determine the prevalence of goats pox virus disease in different age groups, sex and seasons in Black goats of Iran. METHODS: In this study skin lesions of male and female goats were collected randomly ...

Application of McCoy Cell Line for Propagation of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

Herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) are members of the Herpesviridae family. About 40% to 80% of the world populations are infected with HSV and its prevalence is high in Iran. The high prevalence of this virus in the community and the ability of the virus in causing fatal diseases among immunocompromised patients, have encouraged studies to be performed on HSV and suitable cell ...

A new approach to develop a vaccine against capripox infection in sheep and goats using a new strain of sheep pox virus in Iran

This report describes the preparation of a safe and immunogenic single vaccine against capripox disease in sheep and goats using two different types of cells (primary lamb kidney and vero, a bovine turbinate cell line). This used the 0240 pox strain isolated from sheep during an outbreak. The prepared vaccine was administered subcutaneously and induced complete protection against an experimenta...
