Pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) infects cattle throughout the world and has zoonotic potential. However, it is not known to infect cattle in Turkey. In August 2013, we observed ulcerative nodular swelling and pustules on udder and teats of a cow in a small village nearly Lake of Bafa, Milas, Mugla locate in southwestern part of Turkey. Interestingly, the similar lesions were also observed on skin of milkier women's hand at the same time. A PCPV strain was characterized based on the major envelop gene sequence. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolated strain was closely related to the members of other parapoxvirus genus. This study provides the first description of PCPV infection in Turkey.
伪牛痘病毒(PCPV)感染全球各地的牛,且具有人畜共患病潜力。然而,土耳其尚无该病毒感染牛的相关报道。2013年8月,我们在土耳其西南部穆拉省米拉斯区靠近巴法湖的一个小村庄里,观察到一头奶牛的乳房和乳头出现溃疡性结节肿胀及脓疱。有趣的是,同时在挤奶女工的手部皮肤上也观察到了类似病变。基于主要包膜基因序列对一株PCPV进行了鉴定。系统发育分析表明,分离出的毒株与副痘病毒属的其他成员密切相关。本研究首次描述了土耳其的PCPV感染情况。
