Cross-neutralization tests on sheep pox, goat pox and contagious pustular dermatitis viruses
Abstract
In cross-neutralization tests in cell cultures, sheep pox and contagious pustular dermatitis (CPD) hyperimmune sera did not cross-react in the heterologous system. But goat pox hyperimmune serum neutralized both sheep pox and CPD viruses revealing a one-way serological relationship of goat pox virus with both sheep pox and CPD viruses.
