Contagious ecthyma (CE) is a worldwide highly contagious zoonotic viral skin disease of sheep and goats. Treatment for Orf virus (ORFV) infection usually involves topical oral antibiotics. An anaesthetic antiseptic gel (Multisolfen® or Tri-Solfen®; MS®, Medical Ethics, Australia) has been documented as an efficacious therapy lesions from mucosal epithelial infections in ruminants. The present study tested new treatment protocol MS® CE on-farm 150 lambs naturally infected with ORFV. Lambs...
Three different methods of inducing experimental infection lambs with orf virus (ORFV), the cause Contagious Ecthyma, were examined in nine animals; intradermal inoculation, subcutaneous injection and epithelial scarification. The objective was to identify most appropriate method reproduce disease lesions similar severity all infected animals. Subcutaneous inoculation failed two three animals, whereas both groups that inoculated by scarification routes, respectively, displayed a...
In Europe, Leishmania infantum is the most prevalent species, and this protozoan transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. A recent publication has shown that sheep harbor L. antibodies. This raises questions about epidemiological role of small ruminants. Therefore, sera from ruminants located in two southern German federal states, Baden-Wuerttemberg (BW) Bavaria (BAV), were analyzed with an ELISA to determine presence The sex age (gimmer vs. ewe) recorded, a univariate analysis was conducted...
