Sheep pox virus is widespread in India and clinical cases are reported across the country throughout year, particularly during extreme climatic conditions. In India sheep rearing is associated with a particular community and being land less and economically weaker, owners used to migrate one to another place for grazing of their flocks. Such animal husbandry practices make these animals exposed and susceptible to viral diseases. Thus, the thorough investigations of outbreaks are essential to establish linkage and lineages of prevailing virus and also to find out presence of any new strain. The current report investigated an outbreak of sheep pox during April to September, 2024 in Uttar Pradesh. The samples were confirmed through P32gene based amplification and subjected to sequencing of 4 representative samples collected from 4 different villages. Phylogenetic analysis of the full-length P32gene revealed homology with sheep pox isolates previously reported from various places of India and subsequently with neighboring countries. It suggested high lineage-specificity of Indian sheep pox virus and its correlation with the original host. Thus, continuous and proper vaccination of existing sheep population with homologous vaccine strain is recommended to prevent and control it’s incidences as well as outbreaks.
