We obtained the complete sequence of a novel poxvirus, tentatively named Brazilian porcupinepox virus, from a wild porcupine (Coendou prehensilis) in Brazil that had skin and internal lesions characteristic of poxvirus infection. The impact of this lethal poxvirus on the survival of this species and its potential zoonotic importance remain to be investigated.
我们从巴西的一只野生箭猪（Coendou prehensilis）中获得了一种新型痘病毒的完整序列，该病毒暂命名为巴西豪猪痘病毒。这只箭猪具有典型的痘病毒感染的皮肤和内部病变。这种致命的痘病毒对该物种的生存和潜在的人畜共患重要性的影响仍有待调查。
