“…BAV [16] and SPAnv [22] have been isolated in Brazil from sentinel mouse and wild rodent, respectively, but not as reservoirs for these VLVs. Further, s/c route of immunization of goats with goatpox vaccine [18] and camels with camelpox vaccine [17] were equally effective as i/d route in terms of eliciting immune response. Thus, it seems plausible that s/c route can be used for smallpox vaccination in human but needs a plenty of data before it is executed.…”

“…The disease was first reported in between 1893 and 1902 from Russia (Wernery and Kaaden, 2002), Rajaputana and Punjab parts of India (Leese, 1909) and later from different parts of the world (Figure 1) (Hafez et al, 1992). It is endemic in camel-rearing countries of Africa and Middle East Asia, in which places camels are reared for milk and draught.…”

| World Health Assembly declared that the world is free from smallpox virus infection and vaccination against smallpox is not recommended since May 8, 1980. Since then several incidences of infections due to poxvirus reported in different parts of the world in humans and animals and the trend has now been increasing. In India, camelpox and buffalopox are the two important Orthopoxvirus (OPV) infections considered as emerging public health concern since last decade due to augmented reports of outbreaks and isolated cases. Both are highly contagious zoonotic viral diseases. Camelpox is an economically important, notifiable skin disease of camelids and could be used as a potential bio-warfare agent. Though, vaccines are available in few countries, this disease has received much attention in present days due to emergence of infections in human beings. Buffalopox is also causing tangible and intangible losses in affected herds which has no commercial vaccines at field to protect. Hence, novel, specific, sensitive, rapid and cost-effective diagnostic techniques would be useful in identification, thereby early implementations of therapeutic and preventives measures to curtail these diseases. This review provides an overview on the epidemiology, clinical picture, biology, diagnostic approaches and the preventive measures on the two emerging and re-emerging disease of India viz. camelpox and buffalopox.

“…The eradication of camelpox infection in camel husbandry is of great importance by developing attenuated proactive vaccines. Attempts to produce an attenuated camelpox vaccine have been undertaken in Morocco [6], in Saudi Arabia [9], and in the United Arab Emirates [18] an attenuated live vaccine has been used to protect camels from infection.…”

ABSTRACT. In this study we report the first outbreak of camelpox in two provinces in Syria. Clinical symptoms started with fever, salivation and general exanthema. The main features were facial and legs oedema, pustules on the mucosa of the lips and a high rate of abortion. Lesions may also occur on the whole body including scrotum and udder. Specimens were investigated by electron microscopy, virus isolation in cell culture and embryonated eggs and by immunohistochemistry. The causative agent was identified as camelpox virus by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of the hemagglutinin gene. KEY WORDS: camel, outbreak, pox virus.
