Background There is a need for an integrated genotyping approach for C. parvum; no sufficiently discriminatory scheme to date has been fully validated or widely adopted by veterinary or public health researchers. Multilocus fragment typing (MLFT) can provide good differentiation and is relatively quick and cheap to perform. A MLFT tool was assessed in terms of its typeability, specificity, precision...
The genomic structure of two strains of orf virus (OV), a field isolate (MRI-Scab) which has never been passaged in cell culture, and a multiple-passage cell culture-adapted strain (Orf-11) were compared. The Orf-11 genome is ∼8.0 kb longer than that of the MRI-Scab due to a duplication of the right-hand end. The duplicated region has been translocated to the left-hand end of the genome with a loss...
We investigated the feasibility of using vaccinia virus (VAC) recombinants containing large multigene fragments of orf virus DNA to identify protective antigens of orf virus (OV). Sixteen OV strain NZ2 DNA fragments with an average size of 11.4 kb were recombined into VAC strain Lister. Each fragment was mapped relative to OV restriction endonuclease maps but was otherwise uncharacterized. Together...
