| description | The genus capripox viruses, including sheep and goat pox viruses, represent one earnest pox infection with remarkable economic importance in animal farms. The study aimed to describe the clinical sheep pox disease, molecular disclosure of sheep and goat pox virus in clinically exposed sheep against the P32 gene of capripoxvirus, and for the initial record of phylogenetic analysis for these viruses in sheep in Mosul city, Iraq. Clinical findings revealed a fever of 40-41°C, diarrhea, and death of infected sheep. The skin lesions characteristic of erythema, papules, pustules, and dry black scabs disseminated on top of the skin frame. The percentage of infected sheep and fatal rate ranged between 10-40% and 2-6%, respectively. Moreover, ten local sequences of the sheep pox virus were obtained, and then individual sequence analysis was performed using BLASTn. No goat pox virus was detected in infected sheep. Two sequences were recorded under the accession numbers (PP992317.1 and PP992318.1) in the GenBank. The outcomes indicate that the study sequence was analogous to those of Iraq, India, Germany (99.89% identity) and Russia (99.79% identity). Thus, it is recommended that the farmers be aware of the occurrence of disease in susceptible animals, restrict new entry animals, apply vaccination, and eliminate clinically infected sheep, which are of priority to prohibit more losses. |
