Rabbitpox virus (RPXV) is closely related to vaccinia virus (VACV), but has unique genetic features. Phylogenetic analysis confirms RPXV is not directly descended from sequenced VACV strains.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Genomics
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Rabbitpox virus (RPXV) is a highly virulent rabbit pathogen.
  • RPXV is suspected to be closely related to vaccinia virus (VACV).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To sequence the complete coding region of the RPXV genome.
  • To compare RPXV with VACV and other orthopoxviruses to understand evolutionary relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Whole-genome sequencing of RPXV strain Utrecht (RPXV-UTR).
  • Comparative genomic analysis using conserved DNA sequences and protein products.
  • Phylogenetic analysis of orthopoxviruses.

Main Results:

  • RPXV-UTR genome is 197,731 nucleotides with 184 putative genes.

  • RPXV possesses unique genes with orthologues in variola virus (VARV) but not VACV.
  • Phylogenetic analyses confirm RPXV is most closely related to VACV but has unique genetic regions.

    • Conclusions:

    • RPXV and VACV share a close evolutionary relationship.
    • RPXV has not evolved directly from currently sequenced VACV strains.
    • RPXV exhibits distinct genetic characteristics differentiating it from VACV.
