An international team led by scientists from the University of Dublin has found traces of sheep pox virus DNA in historical manuscripts, including the York Gospel, which is about 1,000 years old. The discovery provides genetic evidence that the virus spread among European flocks. By examining teeth from Bronze Age sheep, the researchers found the oldest known genetic evidence of the virus. The findings suggest it infected livestock more than 3,700 years ago and remained genetically stable for thousands of years. Traces were also detected in parchment made from calf and goat skins. The researchers believe that studying this genetic material could help clarify how the virus evolved and how it can be controlled.
