ORF in sheep and goats in Nigeria

T U Obi et al. Trop Anim Health Prod. 1978 Nov.

Abstract

Orf virus was demonstrated in biopsy material taken from lambs during an outbreak of the disease on the University of Ibadan Teaching and Research Farm. Clinical cases were also seen in goats. The confirmation of orf in Nigeria is discussed in relation to peste des petits ruminants, an important virus disease of small ruminants in West African countries.
