Research Abstract |
Although parapoxvirus (PPV) infections appear in cattle, sheep and goats, the papular, nodular, pustular and ulcerated skin lesions of Japanese serows (Capricornis crispus) are significantly more severe than those of other animals. Our results from cell biological investigations suggest that high responsiveness to viral endothelial growth factor of endothelial cells might be involved in the severe proliferative skin lesions induced by PPV infection in Japanese serows.
