Discovery of a phylogenetically distinct poxvirus in diseased Crocodilurus amazonicus (family Teiidae).
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A novel poxvirus was discovered in Crocodilurus amazonicus (Teiidae) presenting with a debilitating skin disease. The generated first genome sequence of a reptilian poxvirus revealed the closest phylogenetic relationship to avipoxviruses, highlighting potential virus exchanges between avian and reptilian species.
