Cowpox virus (CPXV) was isolated from skin lesions of a llama on a farm in Italy. Transmission electron microscopy showed brick-shaped particles consistent with orthopoxviruses. CPXV-antibodies were detected in llama and human serum samples; a CPXV isolate had a hemagglutinin sequence identical to CPXV-MonKre08/1-2-3 strains isolated from banded mongooses in Germany.
牛痘病毒(CPXV)是从意大利一个农场的羊驼皮损中分离出来的。透射电子显微镜显示,这些颗粒呈砖状,符合正痘病毒的特征。在羊驼和人血清样本中检测到了 CPXV 抗体;从德国的条纹獴中分离到的 CPXV-MonKre08/1-2-3 株与分离株的血凝素序列完全相同。
