Canarypox virus (CNPV) is an ''Avipoxvirus'' and etiologic agent of canarypox, a disease of wild and captive birds that can cause significant losses. Canarypox can enter human cells, but it cannot survive and multiply in human cells.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beautyofbirds.com/canarypoxvirus.html )〕 There is a live viral vaccine available which may have beneficial properties against human cancer when used as a mammalian expression vector. (ATCvet code: ). Furthermore, the POXIMUNE® C vaccine does offer direct protection against CNPV in susceptible birds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.drugs.com/vet/poximune-c.html )〕 Generally CNPV is considered a disease of songbirds for example, canaries, magpies and nightingales and is associated with higher mortality rates when compared to other avian pox viruses. In some instances, mortality approaches 100%.〔 Avian pox viruses also cause significant economic losses in domestic poultry and remains a problem in the conservation of endemic bird species inhabiting islands. The general symptoms of CNPV are similar to other species of avian pox viruses and are characterised by pustules and diphtheria or pneumonia like symptoms.〔 ==Classification== Canarypox virus (CNPV) is a member of the ''Poxviridae'' family. Canarypox viruses, as with other bird pox viruses are in the genera of ''Avipoxvirus''. Nine other species are also in the genus ''Avipoxvirus.'' These include: Fowlpox virus, Juncopox virus, Mynahpox virus, Psittacinepox virus, Sparrowpox virus, Starlingpox virus, Pigeonpox virus, Turkeypox virus and Quailpox virus. It has thus far been reported that around 232 bird species (from 23 disparate orders) are affected by avian pox virus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「canarypox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
