Molecular phylogenetics of a recently isolated goat pox virus from Vietnam

Production of Goat Pox Virus Vaccine from a Live Attenuated Goat Pox Virus Strain

Kid kidney cells form less than 2 months of age were grown, 80% confluent monolayers were obtained after 10-12 days. Live attenuated goat pox virus vaccine (Gorgan 55, Iranian) was used to infect the confluent monolayers. Eighty percent cytopethic effect (CPE) was obtained on day 5 of virus inoculation. TCID50 calculated for the pool virus was 10 / ml. Vaccine was found free from any bacterial ...

Propagation of goat pox virus on monolayer cell cultures

Sheep Pox and Goat Pox

Sheep pox and goat pox are viral diseases of sheep and goats characterised by fever, generalised papules or nodules, vesicles (rarely), internal lesions (particularly in the lungs), and death. Both diseases are caused by strains of capripoxvirus, all of which can infect sheep and goats. Although most of the strains examined cause more severe clinical disease in either sheep or goats, some strai...

Detection, identification, and differentiation of sheep pox virus and goat pox virus from clinical cases in Giza Governorate, Egypt

AIM To isolate, identify, and differentiate Capripoxviruses (CaPV) (sheep pox virus and goat pox virus) infections by egg inoculation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and 30 kDa RNA polymerase subunit gene-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (RPO30) in clinically affected animals in Hawamdia township of Giza Governorate, Egypt. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 37 scab samples were c...

Propagation of goat pox virus on monolayer cell cultures.

Although the majority of different members of poxviruses have been carefully studied, !ittle is known about goat pox and no detailed report on the disease and its causative agent is, so far, available. The cultivation of goat pox virus (GPV) in cell cultures reported in the present paper makes available the most reliable and economic source for large s~ale produc~ion of vaccine to control the d...
