Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a worldwide distributed zoonotic viral disease of sheep and goat with significant economic impacts. The disease is often known with the proliferative skin lesions outside the buccal cavity of young animals. In this report, occurrence of the severe mucosal form of contagious ecthyma in mature sheep is described. The disease was observed in a number of mature animals in a sheep flock which exhibited increased heart and respiratory rates, highly disseminated erosive lesions on the tongue, dental pad, gums and interior face of the lips. As clinical examinations proposed that the flock was affected by contagious ecthyma, sample specimens from the mucosal lesions was taken and subjected to molecular virology test (PCR) which tentatively confirmed that the sheep flock is affected by contagious ecthyma. The sick sheep which were treated with supportive therapy and care, eventually recovered from the disease.
Investigations revealed that due to the drought, the affected sheep grazed on the poor pasture containing thorny Astragalus and Rosa persica which may have facilitated the mucosal form of the disease manifested. This report emphasizes the importance of contagious ecthyma virus to create oral mucosal lesions which must be differentiated the lesions from the similar mucosal diseases.
