AI Article Synopsis
- - A wild muskox was found with dermatitis due to contagious ecthyma and developed severe secondary bacterial infections, including laminitis, hepatitis, and encephalitis.
- - The bacterial infection was caused by Corynebacterium freneyi, which complicated the initial viral infection from the orf virus.
- - This case highlights the link between orf virus infections and serious secondary infections, potentially explaining population declines of muskoxen on Victoria Island, Canada.
Article Abstract
A wild muskox (Ovibos moschatus) with dermatitis typical of contagious ecthyma had secondary bacterial septicemia with Corynebacterium freneyi that included laminitis, hepatitis, and suppurative encephalitis. This case supports the association between orf virus infection and fatal secondary infections, which may have contributed to population declines on Victoria Island, Canada.
