AI Article Synopsis
- Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) infects both cattle and humans, with common subclinical infections and the possibility of virus persistence in healthy animals.
- Multiple strains of BPSV were isolated from a single animal, indicating complex interactions and potential for co-infections.
- Whole-genome analysis showed genetic variability among these strains, which may impact how the virus behaves and spreads, highlighting important aspects of virus evolution.
Article Abstract
Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) infects cattle and, occupationally, humans. Prevalent subclinical infections, frequent reinfections, and virus persistence in healthy animals compound a poorly understood, but likely complex, scenario of BPSV perpetuation and transmission in nature. Here, we report the isolation of multiple BPSV strains coinfecting a single animal. Whole-genome analysis of isolated BPSV strains revealed genomic variability likely affecting virus virulence and infectivity. Further, incongruent phylogenetic relationships between viruses suggested genomic recombination. These results have significant implications for parapoxvirus infection biology and virus evolution in nature.

Article Synopsis
- Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a significant threat to the cattle industry, particularly affecting regions in sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania, where there is limited information about the disease and its causative agents.
- A study collected samples from suspected LSD outbreaks in Tanzania and used real-time PCR and high-resolution multiplex melting assays to confirm the presence of LSDV and other poxviruses, identifying 10 positive samples for Capripoxvirus and 1 for Parapoxvirus.
- Genetic analysis revealed that Tanzanian LSDV isolates are highly similar to other circulating LSDVs but have unique characteristics, emphasizing the need for effective control and monitoring programs for LSD and highlighting the presence of a previously unreported strain of BPSV

Article Synopsis
- - Bovine papular stomatitis (BPS) is a mild viral disease caused by the Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV), and this study is the first to analyze its molecular characteristics in beef calves in Iran.
- - Researchers examined four cattle herds that had outbreaks, collected swab samples, and confirmed BPSV presence using PCR.
- - Phylogenetic analysis revealed two distinct clades of BPSV isolates from Iranian calves, showing genetic diversity; further studies are recommended for better understanding of the virus's circulation.
Characterization and molecular identification of the lumpy skin disease virus in cattle in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.

Article Synopsis
- - Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), a viral condition affecting cattle, has spread across Asia since its emergence in October 2020, causing economic losses in regions like Vietnam.
- - The study collected blood samples from 180 cattle in the Mekong Delta to analyze the LSD virus and its genetic material, specifically the GPCR gene, to understand its evolutionary relationship with other strains.
- - Results showed that LSDV was present in 8.33% of the samples, revealing genetic similarities with strains from China and Northern Vietnam, suggesting that regional monitoring and control measures are crucial for effective disease management.

Article Synopsis
- Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) is a virus affecting cattle, leading to skin lesions mainly on the udder and mouth, and little research has been done on it in Iraq.
- A study in Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq, examined 264 cattle, finding that 79.9% (211 cows and calves) with lesions tested positive for BPSV using PCR.
- The BPSV strains identified in Iraq were genetically similar to those found in the USA, suggesting the need for further research on the virus's evolution and spread in the area.
