# Draft genome sequence of Moroccan camelpox vaccine strain

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of a camelpox vaccine strain after being attenuated through multiple cell passages.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of an attenuated camelpox vaccine strain.

## Key findings

- The CAMPOX vaccine strain was attenuated through 175 passages in Vero cells.
- The draft genome sequence of the attenuated strain was successfully generated.

## Abstract

Prevention and control of camelpox can be achieved by efficient vaccination. A limited number of homologous attenuated vaccines have been commercialized. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of camelpox virus vaccine strain “CAMPOX vaccine” after 175 passages of attenuation in Vero cells.
