Basic Info| Name: | goatpox |
|---|
BioPox lesions appear on the skin and on the respiratory and gastro-intestinal mucosae. The disease was described in detail about 200 AD in ancient veterinary medical texts, and has been widespread since early times. Hansen reported goat pox in 1879 from Norway (Rafyi and Ramyar, 1959). Later on it was observed during the First World War in Macedonia and became enzootic during 1926 with a mortality rate of 15% (Blanc et al., 1929). The disease is caused mainly by goat poxvirus (GPV) and occasionally by sheep poxvirus (SPV), which are enveloped double stranded DNA viruses, classified in the genus Capripoxvirus of the family Poxviridae (Murphy et al., 1995). The disease inflicts substantial losses in terms of reduced productivity and lower quality of wool and leather. It poses a major obstacle in the intensive rearing of goats and also greatly hampers international trade. Goat pox is the most important of all pox diseases of domestic animals causing high mortality in kids and significant economic losses (Upton, 1980; Agriculture Western Australia, 1999).
