We detected a novel poxvirus from a gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) from the North Sea, Germany. The juvenile animal showed pox-like lesions and deteriorating overall health condition and was finally euthanized. Histology, electron microscopy, sequencing, and PCR confirmed a previously undescribed poxvirus of the Chordopoxvirinae subfamily, tentatively named Wadden Sea poxvirus.
我们从德国北海的一只灰海豹(Halichoerus grypus)中检测到一种新型痘病毒。这只幼年海豹出现痘样病变,整体健康状况恶化,最终被实施了安乐死。组织学、电子显微镜检查、测序和 PCR 确认了一种以前未描述过的 Chordopoxvirinae 亚科痘病毒,暂定名为瓦登海痘病毒。
