“…In spite of, vaccination the avipoxviruses outbreak has been observed among the domesticated poultry (Sharma et al 2019). In Maharashtra, avipoxvirus has been reported in desi birds, Indian peacocks and wild pigeon from different parts of Maharashtra (Pawar et al 2011;Sawale et al 2012;Thorat et al 2019). Apart from these report, the infection status of avipox virus turkey in this region was unreported.…”

Avian pox diseases are contagious and slow spreading viral infections in birds. The present study was aim to, isolate and molecular characterization of turkeypox virus from a clinical case. Ten out of the twelve scab lesions sample collected from clinically suspected cases were positive for avian pox viurs (APV) based on virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction. We conducted genetic characterization of the APV strain. The phylogenetic analyses of P4b gene APV genome indicated that, avian poxviruses fragments sequenced in this study clustered along the A clade of avipoxviruses, genetically related to Indian fowl pox virus isolated from chicken, showing 99% homology.
