Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of major envelope protein gene (B2L) and ATPase protein gene (A32L) of orf virus isolates from goats in Southern, Thailand.

Abstract excerpt

Orf virus (ORFV), a member of the Poxviridae family, causes contagious ecthyma (CE), a viral skin disease in small ruminants. Due to its self-limiting nature, low mortality rate and economic consequences, CE is considered as a neglected disease, resulting in underreporting in Thailand. Despite its global presence, the genetic characterization of ORFV in Thailand, especially in the southern region where there is...
