, 2010 Orf (‘ecthyma contagiosum’) is caused by an epitheliotropic parapox DNA virus of sheep and goats that is able to subdue the host’s immune response. It is an occupational zoonosis of people working with these animals. A painful papule/pustule develops, usually on a finger, the site of contact with lesions on the animal’s muzzle.

ABSTRACT: A 31‐year‐old woman presented with orf on the forefingers at 34 weeks of gestation. The disease, contracted after handling sheep a week before, was uncomplicated, and the patient gave birth at term to a normal baby. Although some cases with features suggestive of viremic spread had been described, the authors find an overall benign picture ...

Human Orf is an uncommon viral disease acquired through contact with infected sheep and goats. We report five cases of human Orf acquired while preparing mutton. The clinical picture and the management of human Orf are presented. Awareness of the benign nature of the condition is important in preventing ill-advised therapy.

AbstractA case of orf affecting the pinna is discussed. This is an unusual presentation of aninfection that is common in farming communities.At the initial presentation the diagnosis was not suspected, the management therefore was inappropriate and probably gave rise to the secondary infection that ensued.

The parapox viral infection orf is usually diagnosed without difficulty when the lesions have the characteristic morphology and there is an appropriate history of contact with sheep. Two cases of orf in a perineal location in young children are presented to illustrate modification of the physical signs by flexural occluded sites. Electron microscopy of

Orf-I and Orf-II-Encoded Proteins in HTLV-1 Infection and Persistence
Viruses, 2011 The 3' end of the human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type-1 (HTLV-1) genome contains four overlapping open reading frames (ORF) that encode regulatory proteins. Here, we review current knowledge of HTLV-1 orf-I and orf-II protein products.
