The multiple alignments of first 115 nucleotides of the obtained nucleotide sequences of LSDV G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor genes of LSDVs detected from ticks along with sequences of published CaPVs on GeneBank. The figure shows addition of a 21 nucleotide fragment (from position 31 to 51) and deletion of a 12 nucleotide fragment (from position 87 to 98) in LSDVs when compared with sequences of sheep poxvirus and goat poxvirus.
