Molecular characterization of Indian contagious ecthyma (Orf) virus isolates by A32L gene and its encoded ATPase protein

Key Points

• Molecular characterization shows distinct features in ecthyma virus isolates, linked to the a32l gene and atpase protein.
• Among 15 viral isolates, significant variations are found in the a32l gene sequences, indicating genetic diversity.
• Characterization involves analyzing the a32l gene and its encoded atpase protein using advanced molecular techniques.
• Findings suggest potential pathways for developing control measures and vaccines against contagious ecthyma virus.
