From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] There is a live viral vaccine available which may have beneficial properties against human cancer when used as a mammalian expression vector.[2] (ATCvet code: QI01KD01 (WHO)). Furthermore, the POXIMUNE® C vaccine does offer direct protection against CNPV in susceptible birds.[3]

Canarypox virus is the causative agent of canarypox. This remains a disease of native and captive birds, causing significant losses. 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.[4] In some instances, mortality approaches 100%.[4] Avianpox virus also causes significant economic losses in domestic poultry and remains a problem in the conservation of endemic bird species inhabiting islands.[5]
The general symptoms of CNPV are similar to other Avipoxviruses and are characterised by pustules and diphtheria or pneumonia like symptoms.[1]
