Description This study aimed to investigate and identify circulating Capripoxviruses in different regions of Morocco, using RT-PCR technique on various sample types. The results from the analysis of 980 samples lend considerable perceptions highlighting the diversity in outcomes across the tested samples. The analysis of Ct values revealed distinct patterns dependent on the nature of the sampled materials. Notably, scab samples exhibited lower Ct values indicating a higher concentration of viral load. Swab samples, in contrast, presented average Ct values signifying a moderate presence of viral DNA. Blood samples demonstrated Ct values within the range suggesting a lower viral load in the bloodstream. Furthermore, the study also revealed endemic Capripoxvirus outbreaks in Morocco, particularly in regions with a strong sheep breeding industry.
