Sequence analysis of topoisomerase gene of pseudocowpoxvirus isolates from camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Topoisomerase gene of pseudocowposvirus from Indian dromedarian camel was amplified by PCR using the primers of PCPV from Finnish reindeer and cloned into pGEM-T for sequence analysis. Analysis of amino acid identity revealed that Indian PCPV of camel shared 95.9–96.8 with PCPV of reindeer, 96.2–96.5 with ORFV and 87.5 with BPSV.
