Comparison of contagious ecthyma virus genomes by restriction endonucleases

Restriction enzyme analysis with KpnI revealed heterogeneity among 10 different strains of contagious ecthyma virus from sheep, muskox, Dall sheep and humans. Hybridization of electroblots indicated deletion of DNA segments and changes in nucleotide sequences.
