Complete Genome Sequence of the First Camelpox Virus Case Diagnosed in Israel.

We report here the whole-genome sequence of the first camelpox virus case diagnosed in Israel. The strain (Negev2016) was isolated in 2016 from a camel in southern Israel and was sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platforms.

First Diagnosed Case of Camelpox Virus in Israel.

An outbreak of a disease in camels with skin lesions was reported in Israel during 2016. To identify the etiological agent of this illness, we employed a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of lesion material revealed the presence of an orthopox-like virus, based on its characteristic brick shape.

The transcription of the hGnRH-I and hGnRH-II genes in human neuronal cells is differentially regulated by estrogen.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone-I (GnRH-I), a decapeptide serves as a key regulator of reproduction. Recently, several groups have identified in the mammalian brain a second form of GnRH, of unknown function, designated GnRH-II. The human neuronal medulloblastoma cells (TE-671) were recently demonstrated to express the two forms of GnRH (GnRH-I and GnRH-II).
