Characterization of Iranian canarypox and pigeonpox virus strains

Sequencing and Phylogenetic Analysis of P4b Gene in Pigeon Poxvirus

“…According to Masola et al (2014), shown that these segments' high degree of conservation may help to explain why the nucleotide sequences of the majority of our isolates and those previously isolated in other nations are comparable. These results are agreement with Zarifi et al (2019) indicated that avipoxvirus conservation was high. Additional aspects were also looked into, such as polymorphisms in the highly conserved P4b gene of poxviruses that led to disparities in clinical outcomes and partial protection induced by employing the improper vaccine strains.…”

Genomic characteristics of an avipoxvirus 282E4 strain

“…Furthermore, recently researches suggested that the avipoxvirus was identified in others birds, for instance, Gymnorhina tibicen, Grallina cyanoleuca, Corvus bennetti, Pterodroma cookii and more ( Sarker et al., 2020 ; Sarker et al., 2021(a) ; Sarker et al., 2022 ; Sarker et al., 2023 ). CNPV causes a high fatality rate in infected birds, both in the wild and in commercial aviaries, associating with serious economic losses ( Zarifi et al., 2019 ). Compared with that of CNPV, FWPV infection is a disease with a low mortality proportion, which diminishes egg production and damages growth and fertility.…”
