Molecular Insights into the Genetic Variability of ORF Virus in a Mediterranean Region (Sardinia, Italy)
4 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Orf virus (ORFV) represents the causative agent of contagious ecthyma, clinically characterized by mild papular and pustular to severe proliferative lesions, mainly occurring in sheep and goats. In order to provide hints on the evolutionary history of this virus, we carried out a study aimed to assess the genetic variation of ORFV in Sardinia that hosts a large affected small ruminant population. We also found a...
