| characterization of parapoxviruses circulating among wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus). | we antigenically and molecularly compared 5 parapoxvirus isolates and 7 viral dna samples from clinical lesions of japanese serows with 3 viruses from sheep and goats. all isolates from japanese serows except one, ishikawa-s, reacted with six monoclonal antibodies to orf virus (orfv). restriction endonuclease analysis using amplified viral dna showed the orfv-specific pattern in all samples except ishikawa-s, which showed a bovine papular stomatitis virus (bpsv)-specific pattern. partial nucleot ... | 2002 | 12363024 |
