“…PCR assay showed to be very rapid, accurate and cost effective for diagnosis of contagious ecthyma without using cell culture system or electron microscopy during eld outbreak and quick con rmatory test for orf virus detection by Sowmiya et al, (2018). Molecular diagnosis of orf viral antigen in scab samples could be competently done by semi-nested PCR as it detects low copy number of viral DNA and found more e cient diagnostic method for orf virus in goats (Sunder et al, 2020).…”

Contagious ecthyma or Orf is a common, contagious and zoonotic disease of small ruminants caused by orf virus. The present research was conducted to study the prevalence of Orf in and around Parbhani and to evaluate efficacy of different treatment against Orf in goat. Overall prevalence of Orf in goat was recorded 38.83%. The higher prevalence of Orf recorded in the kids below 4 months of age, male, poor health status and non-descript goats. The overall clinical signs in contagious ecthyma goats were pyrexia, severe proliferative ulcerated cauliflower-like lesions around lips and scabby lesions were commences on the lips, muzzles, mucocutaneous junctions, nostrils, ear, inner aspect of thigh and gums. The hematological parameters revealed erythrocytopenia, reduced hemoglobin, leukocytosis, neutrophilia and lymphopenia. For molecular confirmation, DNA extraction of all scab samples collected from suspected goats were showed amplification of partial B2L gene at 592 bp by PCR. Analysis of DNA sequence revealed that three Parbhani sequences were positive for CEV. The obtained 3 sequences of orf virus got accession numbers PP235095, PP235096 and PP235097 were closely related with each other and with other strains obtained from GenBank for the Parbhani district, Maharashtra and strains of other states of India mainly with Meghalaya, Assam and Goa. The present study concludes that aciclovir @ 10 mg/kg along with neem leaves extract and curcumin powder locally was effective in treating the CE in goats early as compared to other two groups.

“…Small ruminants contribute significantly to the economy of most rural communities in developing countries. Therefore they are called as poor man's cow (Ngambi et al 2013;Singh et al 2014;Sunder et al 2020). Though small ruminants contribute towards alleviation of poverty, their productivity is hampered by infectious diseases and poor husbandry practices.…”

Background: There is scanty literature available about concurrent infection of Pestes des Petits (PPR) and emerging opportunistic bacterial pathogens in field conditions. Thus, study was conducted to investigate the above based on necropsy. Methods: Systematic necropsy examination was conducted on 50 small ruminant carcasses. Detailed study included virological, bacteriological, gross and microscopic investigation on tissues collected using standard techniques. PPR virus (PPRV) antigen was detected in various samples using sandwich Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (s-ELISA). Bacterial pathogens were isolated on blood agar and identified by VITEK® system.Result: Eleven goats and nine sheep had concurrent infection. Highest positivity for PPRV antigen was observed in nasal and tracheal swab, lungs and lungs associated lymph nodes. Pasteurella multocida was the major bacteria found to cause fibrinious hemorrhagic broncho-alveolar pneumonia followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae spp. pneumoniae producing suppurative bronchoalveolar pneumonia in the presence of PPR infection. Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Acinetobacter baumannii, human pathogen were also isolated and found to produce severe hemorrhagic interstitial pneumonia and serofibrinous bronchopneumonia respectively in presence of PPR which is novel finding. Our study is the first report of necropsy based investigation on concurrent infection in sheep and goats.
