Disease relevance of Parapoxvirus

  • Recently, a gene encoding a polypeptide with about 25% amino acid identity to mammalian VEGF was identified in the genome of Orf virus (OV), a parapoxvirus that affects sheep and goats and occasionally, humans, to generate lesions with angiogenesis [1].
  • A gene encoding a polypeptide with homology to interleukin-10 (IL-10) has been discovered in the genome of orf virus (OV) strain NZ2, a parapoxvirus that infects sheep, goats, and humans [2].
  • Purified virions of milker's nodule virus, a parapoxvirus, were shown to contain an RNA polymerase, a nucleotide phosphohydrolase, and a protein kinase associated with or encapsulated within the DNA-containing core of the virus [3].
