etiology,
Capripox virus

Species affected
Sheep and goats

Transmission and pathogenesis
Airborne or may occur by direct contact with lesions or mechanically by biting insects.

Clinical signs
Fever and a variable degree of systemic disturbance develop. Eyelids become swollen, and mucopurulent discharge crusts the nostrils. Widespread skin lesions develop that are most readily seen on the muzzle, ears, and areas free of wool or long hair. Palpation can detect lesions not readily seen. Lesions start as erythematous areas on the skin and progress rapidly to raised, circular plaques with congested borders (pox lesions) caused by local inflammation, edema, and epithelial hyperplasia.

Diagnosis
Clinical signs and laboratory tests

Treatment and control
No treatment
Control by vaccination
