Abstract
Cattle were protected against challenge with rinderpest and lumpy skin disease viruses by vaccination with a recombinant capripoxvirus conta ining the fusion protein (F) gene of rinderpest virus. The minimum pro tective immunising doses for rinderpest and lumpy skin disease were 5. 5 x 10(4) plaque forming units (pfu) and 1.5 x 10(3) pfu, respectively .
