Therapeutic management of contagious ecthyma (ORF) in an Assam hill goat

International Journal of Advanced Biochemistry Research
Contagious ecthyma also known as orf is an acute, highly contagious and economically important viral disease of small ruminants. Clinically managing orf in animals is challenging due to the lack of a specific antiviral treatment for the infection.
