Virus Paravaccine

Paravaccine viruses, or bovine pseudopox viruses, belong to the smallpox family. They are very dangerous pathogens for mammals, especially cattle and humans. These viruses usually appear as malignant growths in the tissues where they multiply.

Paravaccine viruses are single-stranded DNA viruses that range in size from 160 to 290 nm. They contain 8 to 9 chromosome fragments. The viruses belong to the genus Ictamurivirus in the family of the same name, Parapoxviridae.

Parovacini was first discovered in France in 1911 during the vaccination of cattle as a preventive measure for rabies. The disease was called pseudopox. Later, as a result of interlaboratory studies, it turned out that the virus has low virulence and does not pose any threat to the health of people and other mammals.

The key signs of the disease are the appearance of benign and malignant formations on the skin and mucous membranes and epidermal manifestations - atrophy of the dermis and hair follicles. Lesions can be localized literally everywhere - on the body, on the limbs and in the genital area. Most
