Excerpt

Parapoxviruses (PPVs) are epitheliotropic viruses that are found throughout the world. The individual viruses generally exhibit a narrow host range, infect via scarified or damaged skin and give rise to pustular lesions of the skin and occasionally the buccal mucosa. These lesions are associated with high morbidity and low mortality. In addition to a narrow host range, most of the PPVs can also infect humans. Parapoxvirus is one of the genera in the subfamily Chordopoxvirinae, family Poxviridae [12]. There are currently four species in this genus: Orf virus (ORFV), whose members infect both sheep and goats worldwide, Pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) and Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV), whose members infect cattle [16], and Parapoxvirus of red deer in New Zealand (PVNZ), which has only ever been isolated from red deer in New Zealand [25]. …
