title: [Isolation and identification of camel poxvirus in Morocco].
abstract: The virus isolated from young dromedaries during a poxvirus infection, was cultivated on Vero cells. The infection of egg chorio-allantoic membrane caused pustulous lesions (pocks). When inoculated in newborn mice, adult mice or guinea pigs the virus had no pathogenic effect. The virus presented all the characteristics of a poxvirus when observed under the electronic microscope.
