ABSTRACT

A retrospective study of poxvirus infections diagnosed in cattle from Goiás state (GO), Brazil, from 2010 to 2018, was performed. All cases have been investigated by the GO Official Veterinary Service (Agrodefesa), from which technical forms and protocols of veterinary diagnosis laboratories were reviewed. In most cases, samples of oral or cutaneous tissues and/or swabs were submitted for virological diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or virus isolation. Thirty seven outbreaks/cases of vesicular disease were notified in cattle of 25 counties; in 33 cases the animals presented lesions clinically compatible with poxviruses. The etiology of 25 out of 33 outbreaks/cases was confirmed as poxviruses by PCR and/or viral isolation: 13 as bovine vaccinia virus (VACV), six as pseudocowpox virus (PCPV), five as bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) and one coinfection (VACV and an Orf virus-like parapoxvirus). The laboratory confirmed that cases occurred mainly in dairy cattle (19/25) and during the dry season (22/25). In adult cattle, gross changes were observed mainly in the teats and udder and included vesicles, ulcers, crusts, papules and scars and varied of type, severity and affected region, depending on the poxvirus species. In calves, the main lesions were ulcers in the mouth and muzzle. Zoonotic lesions compatible with poxvirus infections were observed for all diagnosed poxviruses, affecting especially the hands of milkers and other farm workers. Our data demonstrate the sanitary and economic relevance of these diseases and the wide circulation of different poxviruses in cattle from GO.


Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo das infecções por poxvírus diagnosticadas em bovinos do estado de Goiás (GO), entre 2010 e 2018. Todos os casos foram investigados pela Agência Goiana de Defesa Agropecuária (Agrodefesa). Foram revisados formulários técnicos e protocolos de laboratórios de diagnóstico veterinário. Na maioria dos casos, amostras de tecidos orais ou cutâneos e/ou swabs foram encaminhadas para diagnóstico virológico. Foram notificados 37 surtos/casos de doença vesicular em bovinos em 25 municípios; em 33 casos os animais apresentavam lesões clinicamente compatíveis com poxvírus. A etiologia de 25 de 33 surtos/casos foi confirmada como poxvírus por PCR e/ou isolamento viral: 13 como vírus vaccínia (VACV), seis como vírus pseudocowpox (PCPV), cinco como vírus da estomatite papular bovina (BPSV) e um caso de coinfecção (VACV e um parapoxvírus semelhante ao Orf vírus). Os casos confirmados laboratorialmente ocorreram principalmente em bovinos leiteiros (19/25) e durante a estação seca (22/25). Em bovinos adultos, alterações macroscópicas foram observadas principalmente nas tetas e úbere e incluíram vesículas, úlceras, crostas, pápulas e cicatrizes e variaram quanto ao tipo, gravidade e região afetada, dependendo da espécie do poxvírus. Em bezerros, as principais lesões foram úlceras na boca e focinho. Lesões zoonóticas compatíveis com infecção por poxvírus foram observadas em todas as poxviroses diagnosticadas, afetando principalmente as mãos dos ordenhadores e outros trabalhadores rurais. Nossos dados demonstram a relevância sanitária e econômica dessas doenças e a ampla circulação de diferentes poxvírus em bovinos de GO.

ABSTRACT

In the present study we investigated the presence of infections by vaccinia-like viruses in dairy cattle from 12 counties in the state of Rio de Janeiro in the last 9 years. Clinical specimens were collected from adult animals with vesicular/pustular lesions mainly in the udder and teats, and from calves with lesions around the nose and mouth. A plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) was applied to search for antibodies to Orthopoxvirus; the vesicular/pustular fluids and scabs were examined by PCR, electron microscopy (EM) and by inoculation in VERO cells for virus isolation. Antibodies to Orthopoxvirus were detected in most cases. The PCR test indicated a high nucleotide homology among the isolates and the vaccinia viruses (VACV) used as controls. By EM, typical orthopoxvirus particles were observed in some specimens. The agents isolated in tissue culture were confirmed as vaccinia-like viruses by EM and PCR. The HA gene of the vaccinia-like Cantagalo/IOC virus isolated in our laboratory was sequenced and compared with other vaccinia-like isolates, showing high homology with the original Cantagalo strain, both strains isolated in 1999 from dairy cattle. Antibodies to Orthopoxvirus were detected in one wild rodent (genus Akodon sp.) collected in the northwestern region of the state, indicating the circulation of poxvirus in this area. Nonetheless, PCR applied to tissue samples collected from the wild rodents were negative. Vesicular/pustular lesions in people in close contact with animals have been also recorded. Thus, the vaccinia-like virus infections in cattle and humans in the state seem to be an expanding condition, resulting in economic losses to dairy herds and leading to transient incapacitating human disease. Therefore, a possible immunization of the dairy cattle in the state should be carefully evaluated.


Neste estudo avaliou-se a presença de infecções por vírus semelhantes ao vírus vaccínia (VACV) em gado leiteiro em 12 municípios no estado do Rio de Janeiro, ao longo dos últimos nove anos. Amostras clínicas foram coletadas de animais com vesículas, pústulas e crostas no úbere e tetas, e da região do nariz e da cavidade oral de bezerros. Um teste de neutralização viral por redução de placas foi desenvolvido para investigar a presença de anticorpos contra Orthopoxvirus. Os fluidos de vesículas / pústulas e as crostas foram testadas por PCR, microscopia eletrônica (ME) e por inoculação em células VERO para isolamento viral. Anticorpos contra Orthopoxvirus foram detectados na grande maioria dos animais. O teste de PCR demonstrou homologia entre os vírus isolados e amostras de vírus vaccínia usados como controles. Na ME, partículas típicas de Orthopoxvirus foram observadas em vários espécimes analisados. Os vírus isolados em cultivo celular foram confirmados como Orthopoxvirus por PCR e ME. O gene HA da amostra Cantagalo/IOC isolada em nosso laboratório foi seqüenciado e comparado com outras amostras semelhantes ao vaccínia, mostrando uma alta homologia com a amostra original Cantagalo, tendo sido as duas amostras isoladas em 1999 de gado leiteiro. Anticorpos para Orthopoxvirus foram detectados em um roedor silvestre do gênero Akodon sp. coletado na região noroeste do estado, sugerindo uma circulação de poxvírus na natureza. No entanto, os testes de PCR aplicados a tecidos de roedores silvestres foram negativos. Infecções vesiculares / pustulares em humanos que mantinham contato com os animais afetados também foram relatadas. Assim, infecções por amostras semelhantes ao vírus VACV em bovinos e em humanos parecem em expansão no estado, gerando perdas econômicas em animais e quadros de doença incapacitante temporária em pacientes humanos. Dessa forma, a possibilidade da imunização do gado leiteiro no estado deve ser devidamente avaliada.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho consistiu no estudo epidemiológico do surto de poxvirose bovina no Estado do Espírito Santo no período de 2002 a 2005. A coleta dos dados deu-se em 28 propriedades de gado bovino leiteiro de 08 municípios do Sul do Estado do Espírito Santo com casos de doenças pústulo-vesicular em bovinos, no período de agosto de 2002 a maio de 2005. Observou-se que a prevalência da doença no gado bovino leiteiro variou de 10,2% a 100% das propriedades com média de 52,7%. Através de isolamento viral e PCR do gene Timidina Quinase (TK), identificou-se o vírus do gênero Orthopoxvirus como o agente etiológico da poxvirose bovina. Em todas as propriedades constatou-se uma perda econômica, principalmente relacionada à queda na produção leiteira. A poxvirose bovina assumiu um caráter epidêmico no Sul do Estado do Espírito Santo, com grande impacto econômico e importância em saúde pública, como uma zoonose ocupacional entre os ordenhadores. Baseadas nos dados obtidos, medidas de cunho fiscal-sanitário e de orientação ao produtor agropecuário foram implementadas, visando conter a disseminação da doença entres as propriedades, e os outros municípios do Estado.


The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological data of bovine poxviruses in the State of Espírito Santo during the years 2002 to 2005. The sample consisted of 28 properties that produce cow's milk in 08 cities from the South of the State, in wich were present cases of bonive pustulo-vesicular disease between 2002 august to 2005 may. The bovine disease was found in 10,2% to 100% of the properties with a mean of 52,7%. Throughout virus isolation techniques and PCR of the Timidin Kinase gene, an Orthopoxvirus was identified as the etiological agent of the bovine yiruses. All the properties reported economic losts related to a decrease in milk production. The bovine poxviruses assumed an epidemic feature in the South of the State of Espírito Santo promoting a big economic impact and representing an important public health worry as an occupational zoonosis mainly for the milkers. Thus, based on the obtained data, policy and sanitary statements, and educational strategies, were applied in the properties in order to stop the disease dissemination over the neighbor cities.

ABSTRACT

Sheep and cattle parapoxviruses cause in human beings diseases of very similar aspect, named orf and milker's nodules, respectively. These infections are generically called farmyard pox. In the present article, we show the epidemiological, clinical, and histopathological aspects, as well as the treatment of these two viral diseases that are very similar, being differentiated only by their epidemiological aspects

ABSTRACT

During 1992-96, outbreaks of buffalopox zoonosis were reported from different villages in Jalgaon, Dhule and Beed districts of Maharashtra State. In humans, pox lesions were observed on the hands whereas in affected buffaloes and cows the lesions were noticed mainly on the teats and udder. Twenty two virus strains were isolated from the skin scabs collected from infected humans and milch animals. Neutralizing antibodies were detected not only in the sera of affected humans but also in their contacts. Detection of antibodies in young individuals from endemic area, who were neither vaccinated for smallpox nor had any contact with buffaloes or history of any poxvirus disease, is suggestive of occurrence of subclinical infection. A few children who had no contact with infected animals also showed clinical manifestations with disseminated lesions on the face, arm and buttocks, and thus suspected to have acquired infection through their infected parents or other family members indicating a possible man to man transmission. Therefore, in the light of discontinuation of smallpox vaccination, buffalopox outbreaks need to be monitored carefully as this may emerge as a serious zoonotic disease in India.

ABSTRACT

Os autores procuram enfatizar a importância da incidência das dermatoviroses dentre as dermatopatias já que säo pobres os dados médicos nacionais sobre esse grupo de pacientes. No intuito de enriquecer essas informaçöes, fazem comparaçöes com centros de outros países e com os poucos dados nacionais anteriores aos obtidos nesta notificaçäo. Dentre 14.561 diagnósticos obtidos, foi observada uma incidência de 6.4% de dermatoviroses, dado que sugere um aumento de incidência deste grupo de doenças
