“…The occurrence of SGP outbreaks in all months of the year agrees with the report of Atalla and Alzuheir [ 28 ] who reported that SGP outbreak has occurred in all months of the year in Palestine. In the current study, the highest outbreak was recorded during November while the lowest was at May.…”

“…In the current study, the highest outbreak was recorded during November while the lowest was at May. However, according to Atalla and Alzuheir [ 28 ], the highest number of outbreaks occurred in January, while the fewest outbreaks and the lowest incidence, mortality, and coverage occurred in August, September, and October. Data for various parameters were collected by month for the period from April 1996 to March 2000.…”

Sheep and goat pox is highly contagious viral infection of sheep and goats caused by the genus Capripox virus. Clinically, the disease is characterized by fever, macules developing into papules, and necrotic lesions in the skin and nodular lesions in internal organs. In Ethiopia, there are seroprevalence epidemiological studies on the disease. However, the spatiotemporal clustering of sheep and goat pox incidence has not been investigated. A retrospective study design using the outbreak reported data from Kombolcha Regional Laboratory for the years from September 2013 to December 2019 was performed to determine the temporal and spatial distribution of sheep and goat pox outbreaks. A total of 663 sheep and goat pox disease outbreaks were reported in all major parts of Eastern Amhara region between 2013 and 2019. In this period, sheep and goat pox was reported in all administrative zones of Eastern Amhara region (n = 5). The average incidence of sheep and goat pox outbreaks at the district level was 8.61 per 7 years. The incidence differed between areas, being the lowest in hot dry month and highest in warm and cold moist months. Sheep and goat pox outbreaks generally have a peak in November followed by August and a low in May. There is a significant difference in the occurrence of sheep and goat pox disease outbreaks between months and years ( p < 0.001 ). The forecast for the period 2020–2026 revealed that a high number of sheep and goat pox disease outbreaks will occur than the previous one. Therefore, all stakeholders should work cooperatively to combat this disease occurrence, and there should be capacity development for participatory disease search, risk analysis, laboratory diagnosis, and information management in order to respond properly to outbreak of sheep and goat pox disease; thereby, it enhances the prevention and control the disease.

“…In the current study, the incidence of SP and GP outbreaks were in all months of the year; which agree with the report of Atalla and Alzuheir [ 36 ] which has done in Palestine. In this study the highest outbreak has been recorded during dry cold season (October, n = 40) followed by November, n = 36) while the lowest was at February.…”

Atalla and Alzuheir [ 36 ], reported highest number of outbreaks in January and fewest outbreaks and lowest incidence and mortality in August and September, respectively. This might be due to seasonal and geographical differences between the two study areas.…”

“…The classification of Ca PVs based on the animal species from which the virus was isolated suggested that the Ca PVs were strictly host-specific and these results concurred with (Shehbaz and Hassan, 2017;Abd-Elfatah et al, 2019). In 2017, sheep and goat in different governorates of Egypt showed different clinical signs such as increasing body temperature, nasal lacrimation discharges and scabs on head, face, nostrils, oral and lips, as well as multiple nodules on medial aspect of thigh and under the tail similar to finding the outbreak of sheep pox recorded by (Mahmoud and Khafagi, 2016;Atalla and Alzuheir, 2019). The present study showed the PCR was more useful than conventional methods as isolation and AGPT and it was a perfect tool for viral identification and differentiation of Capripox based on RPO 132 gene, and these findings were similar to outbreak of SPPV (Mahmoud and Khafagi, 2016;Atalla and Alzuheir, 2019).…”

Capri Pox Virus (Ca PV) is the causative agent of important diseases in sheep and goat with severe socioeconomic impact. Sheep Poxvirus (SPPV), Goat Poxvirus (GTPV) and Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) are three members of the Capripox virus genus of Poxviridae family, which infect sheep, goats, and cattle, respectively. A rapid diagnostic assay for Ca PV by using conventional PCR RNA polymerase gene RP030 and real-time qPCR would be useful for disease surveillance, detection and differentiation of Ca PV in clinical and subclinical samples for management and treatments of outbreaks. The present study aimed to detect and identify Ca PV (SPPV and GTPV) in natural, infected scabs biopsy samples, which were collected from sheep and goats in different governorates in 2017 during outbreaks in Egypt using the conventional PCR RNA polymerase gene RP030 gene based and Real-Time qPCR fluorescent based. We collected eighty scabs from clinically affected animals (54 sheep and 26 goat) that were vaccinated in Chorio-Allantoic-Membranes (CAM) from 10-days-old embryonated-chicken eggs. The positive CAM showed pock lesions, which were observed with a thickening of the membrane after 2-3 passages post samples inoculation, and harvested positive CAMs, which were determined by Agar Gel Precipitation Test (AGPT) , Counter Immune Electrophoresis (CIE), and conventional PCR and real time qPCR were examined for the presences of Ca PVs. DNA extraction from clinical samples and positive CAM with pox lesions using DNA slandered references extraction kits compared to novel modification method (Microwave extraction). The PCR based RPO30 gene and the real-time qPCR showed 15 positive with percentage 27.77% in 54 sheep and 3 positive with percentage 12.5% in 26 goats. Although, AGPT and CIE gave lower result than molecular methods, they gave 11 and 13 positive samples from 54 sheep and in goats were 1 and 2 from 26 scab biopsy samples respectively, however they are useful for early confirmation of positive Ca PVs in low-income countries. PCR based RNA polymerase gene RP030 gene and real-time-PCR considered sensitive, rapid, and reliable methods for differentiating SPPV and GTPV from AGPT and CIE in CAM or in clinical samples without further isolation and propagation in embryonated-chicken eggs. The novel microwave method used to isolate high quality of DNA extracted from infected skin biopsy with SPPV and GPPV with no further purification steps required. It was done in 3 minutes only. The results of the current study confirmed that the suitability of the PCR-based RNA polymerase gene RP030 gene is suitable for differentiating between SPPV and GTPV; in one PCR run; without any post-processing steps.
