Five poxvirus strains isolated from camels in Egypt, Iran and the U.S.S.R. were investigated. The morphology and size of the negatively stained virions of the investigated strains were identical. The strains produced minute white pock lesions localized mainly on the infected area of the chorioallantoic membrane, without generalization of lesions or death of embryos. The ceiling temperature and the haemagglutinating activity of the different strains were different. All the strains were apathogenic for rabbit skin and highly pathogenic for mice inoculated intracerebrally. Serologically, all the strains were related to vaccinia virus but with different degrees. The studied strains had the characteristics of members of the genus Orthopoxvirus.
对从埃及、伊朗和苏联骆驼中分离出的5株痘病毒菌株进行了研究。所研究菌株的负染病毒粒子的形态和大小相同。这些菌株产生微小的白色痘疱病变，主要局限于绒毛尿囊膜的感染区域，没有病变扩散或胚胎死亡。不同菌株的最高温度和血凝活性不同。所有菌株对兔皮肤无致病性，对脑内接种的小鼠具有高致病性。血清学上，所有菌株均与痘苗病毒相关，但程度不同。所研究的菌株具有正痘病毒属成员的特征。
