Studies on Cultural Characteristics of Contagious Ecthyma (orf) Virus

Ecthyma contagiosum is a viral disease of sheep and goats, which is caused by Parapoxvirus. Primary cell cultures of lamb testis, lamb kidney, rabbit kidney and permanent cell lines: foetal sheep kidney (FSK), sheep foetal thymus (SFT), sheep foetal muscle (SFM), sheep plexus choroideus (SPC), bovine trachea (BTR), embryonic bovine trachea (EBTR), Madin Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) and baby hamst...

Molecular identification and investigations of contagious ecthyma (Orf virus) in small ruminants, North west Ethiopia

BACKGROUND Orf virus, the prototype of parapoxvirus, is the main causative agent of contagious ecthyma. Little is known about the status of the disease in Ethiopia and this study was aimed at determining its status using PCR as a confirmatory tool. METHODS a total of 400 randomly selected sheep and goat was screened for the identification of the virus using amplification of B2L gene and trans...
