First isolation and genetic characterization of pseudocowpox virus from cattle in Japan
Abstract Background Pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) infects cattle worldwide with zoonotic potential but has not been isolated in Japan. Thus, the epidemiological status of PCPV infection in cattle is undetermined. Results In May 2016, a cattle in a farm in Yamaguchi Prefecture showed white vesicles and h...

| description | Abstract Background Pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) infects cattle worldwide with zoonotic potential but has not been isolated in Japan. Thus, the epidemiological status of PCPV infection in cattle is undetermined. Results In May 2016, a cattle in a farm in Yamaguchi Prefecture showed white vesicles and hyperemia in the mucosa under the tongue surface, but not on the teats and coronary cushions. A parapoxvirus was isolated from the oral lesion swab and was genetically characterized based on the full-length sequence of B2L gene encoding viral envelope. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolated virus was classified into PCPV. Conclusion This case indicates its potential spread in Japan. This is the first report of isolation of PCPV in Japan. |
