Abstract:

Diseases caused by Capripoxviruses (CaPVs) are of great economic importance in sheep, goats, and cattle. Since CaPV strains are serologically indistinguishable and genetically highly homologous, typing of closely related strains can only be achieved by whole-genome sequencing. In this chapter, we describe a robust, cost-effective, and widely applicable protocol for reconstructing (nearly) complete CaPV genomes directly from clinical samples or commercial vaccine batches in less than a week. Taking advantage of the genetic similarity of CaPVs, a set of pan-CaPVs long-range PCRs was developed…
