Genetic Evolutionary Analysis of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strain Under Immune Pressure Exerted by Heterologous Goat Poxvirus Vaccines
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an important infectious disease that threatens the global cattle industry. Recently, LSD has occurred frequently in Asia. The attenuated goat poxvirus (GTPV) vaccine is widely used to prevent LSD in cattle in China; however, sporadic cases of LSD still occur in immunized cattle. This study aimed to investigate the genetic evolution of isolated LSD virus (LSDV) strain under GTPV heterologous vaccine immune pressure. We isolated a new strain of LSDV, named LSDV/China/SX/2023, from a cattle herd immunized with a GTPV-attenuated vaccine in Shaanxi Province, Northwest China, and conducted whole-genome sequencing and genetic evolution studies. There are several open reading frames (ORFs) differences between the isolated strain and the Chinese reference strains, among which truncated expression of the Kelch-like protein encoded by ORF 19 may affect its growth characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolated strain is in the same evolutionary clade as previous isolates from China and Southeast Asia. RDP4 and Simplot simultaneously showed that all strains in this branch had the same 15 recombination events, and there was one recombination event associated with the GTPV. This study presents the recent genetic evolution of LSDV under GTPV vaccine immune pressure and discusses the viral recombination events that are thought to influence transmission which are critical for the control and purification of LSD.
期刊介绍:
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases brings together in one place the latest research on infectious diseases considered to hold the greatest economic threat to animals and humans worldwide. The journal provides a venue for global research on their diagnosis, prevention and management, and for papers on public health, pathogenesis, epidemiology, statistical modeling, diagnostics, biosecurity issues, genomics, vaccine development and rapid communication of new outbreaks. Papers should include timely research approaches using state-of-the-art technologies. The editors encourage papers adopting a science-based approach on socio-economic and environmental factors influencing the management of the bio-security threat posed by these diseases, including risk analysis and disease spread modeling. Preference will be given to communications focusing on novel science-based approaches to controlling transboundary and emerging diseases. The following topics are generally considered out-of-scope, but decisions are made on a case-by-case basis (for example, studies on cryptic wildlife populations, and those on potential species extinctions):
Pathogen discovery: a common pathogen newly recognised in a specific country, or a new pathogen or genetic sequence for which there is little context about — or insights regarding — its emergence or spread.
Prevalence estimation surveys and risk factor studies based on survey (rather than longitudinal) methodology, except when such studies are unique. Surveys of knowledge, attitudes and practices are within scope.
Diagnostic test development if not accompanied by robust sensitivity and specificity estimation from field studies.
Studies focused only on laboratory methods in which relevance to disease emergence and spread is not obvious or can not be inferred (“pure research” type studies).
Narrative literature reviews which do not generate new knowledge. Systematic and scoping reviews, and meta-analyses are within scope.
