Abstract: P32, one of the structural proteins present in all the capripoxviruses, contains major immunogenic determinants. P32 protein gene is not only a key factor in pathogenicity, but also a major component that stimulate antibody anti-capripoxvirus protective immunity. In this paper, development of the P32 protein including its genome structure, epitope, and use in diagnosis and immunological of capripoxvirus is summarized.

Key words: capripoxvirus; P32 protein; diagnosis; immunity
