Background: The orf virus (ORFV) is a viral pathogen that primarily causes contagious ecthyma in humans and different ruminants. The infection, which is common worldwide, causes large-scale economic losses to animal breeders.

Objective And Methods: In this study, tissue samples collected from eight randomly selected goats with dermatological lesions on the teats were examined in different goat herds.

Orf is a contagious zoonotic disease caused by Orf virus (ORFV), posing a threat to both animal and human health. The ORFV113 gene, located in the terminal variable region of the ORFV genome, has been demonstrated as a significant virulence gene, but its function remains largely unknown. In the study, we first amplified the truncated version of the ORFV113 gene (ORFV113t) by removing its transmembrane domain at the 5' end.

Article Synopsis
  • Contagious ecthyma (CE), also known as ORF, is a viral skin disease affecting humans and various animals, including sheep and goats.
  • A study investigating an outbreak of sheeppox and ORF in Northwest Morocco identified skin lesions in affected sheep and confirmed ORF through PCR testing.
  • This research marks the first detection of ORF in Morocco, highlighting a potential health risk for humans and animals alike.
