DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2018.07.005 Interpretive Summary: Parapoxvirus species are widely spread in Mexico and constitutes a vesicular diseases in livestock. The genetic relationship between the parapoxvirus species in Mexico, USA and Canada, suggest that there is a common pattern of circulation for these viruses in North America. The results of this study will help to improve the diagnostic techniques for parapoxviruses in Mexico. Technical Abstract: Diseases circulating in Mexico that clinically show a vesicular resemble the clinical signs produced by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), are the ones associated with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and with multiple parapoxviruses, including bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV), ORF virus (ORFV), and pseudocowpox virus (PCPV). In the case of BPSV, ORFV, and PCPV, they were described for the first time in Mexico early during the 80s, but since that time the genetic diversity and the temporal-spatial circulation of these viruses remains unknown in Mexico. Our results show that parapoxvirus species are widely spread in Mexico and constitutes the second most important etiology of vesicular diseases in livestock in this country. Also, the genetic relationship between the parapoxvirus species circulating in Mexico, USA and Canada, suggest that there is a common pattern of circulation for these viruses in North America. The results of this study will help to improve the diagnostic techniques for ORFV, BPSV and PCPV. |
