Abstract

The present invention provides a recombinant raccoonpox virus comprising a raccoonpox virus viral genome which contains a foreign DNA sequence inserted into a non-essential region within the HindIII "U" genomic region, the HindIII "M" genomic region, or HindIII "N" genomic region of the raccoonpox virus genome. The present invention provides a recombinant raccoonpox virus comprising a raccoonpox virus viral genome which contains a deletion in a raccoonpox virus host range gene of the viral genome. The present invention provides a homology vector for producing a recombinant raccoonpox virus by inserting a foreign DNA sequence into the raccoonpox virus genome. The present invention provides a recombinant raccoonpox virus which is useful as a vaccine in mammalian and avian species.
