“…This marks the first occasion that parapoxviruses have been identified in Bangladesh. Unlike capripoxviruses (sheep pox and goat pox), which are endemic to Bangladesh, parapoxviruses can be transmitted to humans [ 32 ]. This underscores the importance of determining the infectious etiology of pox-like dermal lesions on domestic bovines to avoid confusion with infections caused by more serious zoonotic pathogens (e.g., buffalopox virus, Bacillus anthracis ), or with agents that cause severe, notifiable animal diseases (e.g., FMD or Bluetongue) and to ensure that appropriate medical and veterinary interventions are employed.…”

BackgroundApplication of molecular diagnostic methods to the determination of etiology in suspected poxvirus-associated infections of bovines is important both for the diagnosis of the individual case and to form a more complete understanding of patterns of strain occurrence and spread. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize bovine-associated zoonotic poxviruses in Bangladesh which are relevant to animal and human health.FindingsInvestigators from the International Center Diarrhoeal Disease Research (icddr,b), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Bangladesh Department of Livestock Services traveled to three districts in Bangladesh—Siranjganj, Rangpur and Bhola–to collect diagnostic specimens from dairy cattle and buffalo that had symptoms consistent with poxvirus-associated infections. Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) DNA was obtained from lesion material (teat) and an oral swab collected from an adult cow and calf (respectively) from a dairy production farm in Siranjganj. Pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) DNA signatures were obtained from a scab and oral swab collected from a second dairy cow and her calf from Rangpur.ConclusionsWe report the first detection of zoonotic poxviruses from Bangladesh and show phylogenetic comparisons between the Bangladesh viruses and reference strains based on analyses of the B2L and J6R loci (vaccinia orthologs). Understanding the range and diversity of different species and strains of parapoxvirus will help to spotlight unusual patterns of occurrence that could signal events of significance to the agricultural and public health sectors.

“…1a) has been restricted in the last 50 years mainly to Asia and Africa, extending from Africa north of the Equator (Asagba and Nawathe, 1981; Kitching et al., 1989; Mariner et al., 1991; Achour and Bouguedour, 1999), into the Middle East (Daoud, 1997), Turkey (Oğuzoğlu et al., 2006), and Asia including regions of the former Soviet Union (Orlova et al., 2006), India (Mondal et al., 2004; Bhanuprakash et al., 2005) and China (Zheng et al., 2007). Sheeppox or goatpox extended their range into Bangladesh in 1984 (Kitching et al., 1987b) and more recently into Vietnam (2005 and 2008) and Mongolia (2006 and 2007) in the east, and repeated incursions have been reported in Greece in southern Europe (2007) (World Animal Health Information Database, OIE).…”

Capripoxviruses are the cause of sheeppox, goatpox and lumpy skin disease (LSD) of cattle. These diseases are of great economic significance to farmers in regions in which they are endemic and are a major constraint to international trade in livestock and their products. Although the distribution of capripoxviruses is considerably reduced from what it was even 50 years ago, they are now expanding their territory, with recent outbreaks of sheeppox or goatpox in Vietnam, Mongolia and Greece, and outbreaks of LSD in Ethiopia, Egypt and Israel. Increased legal and illegal trade in live animals provides the potential for further spread, with, for instance, the possibility of LSD becoming firmly established in Asia. This review briefly summarizes what is known about capripoxviruses, including their impact on livestock production, their geographic range, host-specificity, clinical disease, transmission and genomics, and considers current developments in diagnostic tests and vaccines. Capripoxviruses have the potential to become emerging disease threats because of global climate change and changes in patterns of trade in animals and animal products. They also could be used as economic bioterrorism agents.

“…Studies in the past for Nigerian, Middle Eastern, and Indian strains of SPPV and GTPV and for LSDV have concluded the type of the Capripoxvirus on the basis of host specificity in mixed populations (Kitching, et al, 1989(Kitching, et al, ,1987. Four outbreaks affecting solely the goats were investigated from Same flock of sheep and goat mixed populations in one district of Xinjiang.…”

Goat pox is contagious viral diseases of small ruminants and are caused by goat pox virus that belong to genus Capripoxvirus of Poxviridae family. The disease epidemics cause significant economic losses for sheepindustry.This communication highlights clinicoepidemiological observations from the four goat pox outbreaks in Xinjiang China in 2010. In clinical signs,fever,multisystemic nodular lesions, mucopurulent nasal discharges and respiratory symptoms were observed in the affected animals all that are goats but sheep. The morbidity, mortality and case fatality rates were 26.3% ,9.2% and 35%, respectively. pathologic anatomy,PCR techniques and also isolation of virus in Sheep original generation testicular cells were used for the diagnosis of the diseases.As results,969 bp of DNA band of P32 gene are amplificated from skin ,tongue ,lung ,liver and stomach and similarity cytopathic effect is caused in LT cell by inoculated processed materials of sick sample and Attenuated vaccian of goatpoxvirus.It concluded that the four outbreaks are affected by goatpox virus.
