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
