Specimen Type Animals Specimen type, collection methods, and diagnostic assays available for the detection of poxviruses from animal specimens by the Poxvirus and Rabies Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1.

The detection of poxviruses by electron microscopy (EM) and immunohistochemical staining (IHC) is performed by the Infectious Disease Pathology Branch of the CDC. 2. EDTA — Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. 3. CSF — Cerebrospinal fluid. 4. If media is used to store and transport specimens a minimal amount should be used to ensure as little dilution of DNA as possible. 5. Orthopoxvirus generic real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays will amplify DNA from numerous species of virus within the Orthopoxvirus genus. Species-specific real-time PCR assays are available for selective detection of DNA from variola virus, vaccinia virus, monkeypox virus, and cowpox virus. 6. Blood is not ideal for the detection of orthopoxviruses by PCR as the period of viremia has often passed before sampling occurs. 7. EM can reveal the presence of a poxvirus in clinical specimens or from virus culture, but this technique cannot differentiate between virus species within the same genus. EM will also not differentiate between genera of Poxviruses with the exception of the Parapoxviruses which have a distinctive morphology. EM cannot be performed on material that has been frozen. 8. Fresh, non-frozen tissue is preferred for testing by IHC. 9. IHC will only identify viruses to the genus level. 10. Serology testing is performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of immunoglobulin. Antibodies are typically broadly cross- reactive across orthopoxvirus antigens. 11. Parapoxvirus generic real-time PCR assays will amplify DNA from multiple species of virus within the Parapoxvirus genus. Specific-specific real-time PCR assays are available for selective detection of DNA from orf virus, pseudocowpox virus, bovine popular stomatitis virus, and sealpox virus. 12. Yatapoxvirus generic real-time PCR assay will amplify DNA from viruses within the Yatapoxvirus genus. A specific standard PCR assay is available to detect tanapox virus. .

Sentinel monkeys were often used in pro- zoonoses because there is no indication they can be transmitted cedures to isolate arboviruses, which might account for their directly between humans by vectors (Table S1). Animal hosts have higher representation among arboviruses. In contrast, there are been identified for at least 57 (44%) of the 130 nonarboviruses; an few published records of bats being routinely sampled during additional 5 (8%) are presumed on epidemiological evidence to arbovirus studies, and only two arboviruses (3%) have been iso- have nonhuman reservoirs (Table S1). A number of viruses infect lated from bats. The reason a much larger number of arbovirus more than one nonhuman vertebrate host species and it is likely species (n = 16) have been isolated from birds than have that the variety of hosts is wider than has been recorded. The nonarbovirus species (n = 1) might, however, be characteristic of predominant host groups for arboviruses (n = 70) are nonhuman the pathogenicity of the togaviruses and flaviviruses, which are primates (31%), rodents (29%), ungulates (26%), and birds (23%); much more common among the arboviruses. The most prominent for the nonarboviruses (n = 57), they are rodents (30%), ungu- vectors of arboviruses were mosquitoes (67%), ticks (19%), and lates (26%), bats (23%), and primates (16%).

Received: 13 October 2011; in revised form: 2 November 2011 / Accepted: 15 November 2011 / Published: 17 November 2011 Simple Summary: Contemporary enthusiasm for the ownership of exotic animals and hobby livestock has created an opportunity for the movement of poxviruses—such as monkeypox, cowpox, and orf—outside their traditional geographic range bringing them into contact with atypical animal hosts and groups of people not normally considered at risk. It is important that pet owners and practitioners of human and animal medicine develop a heightened awareness for poxvirus infections and understand the risks that can be associated with companion animals and livestock. This article reviews the epidemiology and clinical features of zoonotic poxviruses that are most likely to affect companion animals. Abstract: Understanding the zoonotic risk posed by poxviruses in companion animals is important for protecting both human and animal health. The outbreak of monkeypox in the United States, as well as current reports of cowpox in Europe, point to the fact that companion animals are increasingly serving as sources of poxvirus transmission to people.

Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance grant number NA03NMF4390410 to E.J. All samples were collected under NMFS Scientific Research Permit nos. 932-1489-00 and 1054-1731-00. Sample collection protocols were approved by the University of Florida Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC C403). I would like to thank the staff at The Marine Mammal Center (CA), the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (NJ), Animal Health Center (British Columbia), Mystic Aquarium (CT), Sea World of Orlando (FL), SeaWorld of San Diego (CA) and the Virginia Marine Science Museum (VA) for their participation in this study. I thank Dr. John Wise and Dr. Carie Goertz at the Wise Laboratory of Environmental and Genetic Toxicology, University of Southern Maine, for supplying the seal and sea lion cell cultures. Dr. Andy Mercer of the University of Otago, New Zealand, was very generous with his advice on virus isolation and interpretation of electron microscopy images. Dr. Robert DeLong of the National Marine Mammal Lab, Seattle WA, kindly provided me with sera from free-ranging sea lions. The cidofovir was provided by Chimerix, La Jolla CA.
