Article Synopsis
- Camel contagious ecthyma is a viral skin disease that significantly impacts camels and leads to economic losses; this study focuses on identifying and analyzing the virus in Morocco, where it was found in 4 out of 15 affected camels.
- The research involved isolating the virus from skin crust samples and conducting various tests including PCR, which identified genetic similarities to the Ethiopian strain and allowed classification into two genetic clades: Asian and African lineages.
- This study marks the first detection of the virus in North Africa and highlights the virus's opportunistic infection tendencies linked to stress in the animals, suggesting the need for further research to assess its behavior and help in vaccine development.

Background: Neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people, include leishmaniasis, a protozoan parasite found in over 20 species. It is classified into three types: visceral, cutaneous, and muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis, with cutaneous leishmaniasis being the most common. Dogs and rodents are the primary reservoirs of leishmaniasis, which is transmitted by infected female sandflies.
