The whole genome analysis of the wild-type and attenuated orf virus reveals that ORF022 facilitates viral replication
15 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Contagious ecthyma is an acute infectious zoonosis caused by orf virus (ORFV). Live-attenuated ORFV vaccines have played a crucial role in preventing contagious ecthyma for decades. However, these vaccines often fail to induce long-lasting immunity. In recent years, numerous ORFV genome sequences have been published, yet genomic data for attenuated strains remain limited. Furthermore, no comprehensive...
