Molecular Characterisation of Orf Virus in Goats From Eastern Türkiye. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study provides the molecular characterisation of Orf virus (ORFV) strains circulating in Türkiye. Phylogenetic analysis of F1L, B2L, and VIR genes reveals high genetic similarity with Asian and global isolates, highlighting the importance of multi‐gene analysis in monitoring viral outbreaks and understanding disease origins.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of TLR-4, HSP-70 and Caspase-3 Expressions in Lesional Areas of Ecthyma Disease. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Background: Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a highly contagious, economically significant disease affecting sheep, goats and wild small ruminants, caused by the resilient Orf virus (ORFV). It produces thick, crusted lesions around the mouth and nostrils, especially in animals aged 3–4 months, sometimes causing near 100% mortality in immunocompromised young

A Case of Cowpox Presenting as Progressive Unilateral Facial Swelling and Fever Without Any Skin Lesions. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Introduction Although a rare infection, sporadic human cases of cowpox do occur in endemic areas, often through contact with an infected cat. Cats are also incidental hosts but provide an important intermediary to the animal reservoir for cowpox, which in the United Kingdom (UK) includes bank and field voles. Case Discussion We present a case of cowpox
