a poxvirus of primates. i. growth of the virus in vitro and comparison with other poxviruses.a primate poxvirus (orteca) isolated from a skin lesion in a rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) was studied along with four known poxviruses: vaccinia, monkeypox, swinepox, and yaba. it grows in established lines of monkey kidney cells at a rate intermediate between that of vaccinia and monkeypox and that of swinepox and yaba. the cytopathic effects produced by orteca virus resemble those produced by swinepox virus, although, unlike swinepox, it cannot be propagated in porcine cells. neither can ort ...197018605415
a poxvirus of primates. ii. immunology.orteca poxvirus shares antigens with yaba virus, as evidenced by two-way crossreactions in complement-fixation and neutralization tests. antibodies produced by vaccinia and monkeypox viruses showed weak complement-fixation reactions with orteca viral antigen, but neutralization reactions were negative and cross protection in vivo was not demonstrated. orteca and yaba virus antisera both contained complement-fixing and neutralizing antibodies against swinepox virus, but swinepox antiserum had no ...197018605416
