Virological studies on capripox group

Comparative study was undertaken to evaluate: propagation of the vaccinal strains of sheep pox virus (Kenyan strain), goat pox virus (Held strain) and Lumpy skin disease virus (Ismailiastrain), the result had revealed that: 1) The producibility of BHK, Vero andMDBK cell cultures for a) BHK and Vera cell cultures were succeed to support the growth of sheep pox virus and goat pox virus exhibiting characteristic cytopathic effects of the vvirus then BHK and Vero cell lines, it gave highest virus titer of 6.5 log., TCID:;n /ml in association with complete progressive cellular changes and synthesis of viral protein cone. of 24 Ilg/0.1 ml that proved the cytopathic effect of LSD virus infecticompared with Spy -protein cone. of O.181lg/0.l ml and GPV -protein conc. 0[0.75 1lg/0.1ml in the harvest ofBHK and Vera cells respectively.
