*Cutaneous lesions may develop with nondermatotropic viruses:
 
−
**[[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)|Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis]] (bovine herpes virus - 1)
 
−
**Equine coital exanthema (equine herpes virus - 3)
 
−
**[[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Feline viral rhinotracheitis|Feline herpes virus -1]] (rarely)
 
−
*Dermatotropic viruses:
 
−
**'''Bovine herpes virus - 2 = Bovine herpes mammillitis virus'''
 
−
***May cause generalised disease - pseudolumpy skin
 
−
***Localised disease - bovine herpes mammillitis
 
−
****Mostly in lactating cows
 
−
****Skin trauma is essential for virus invasion
 
−
****Decreased milk production and secondary bacterial mastitis
 
−
****Lesion occur on teats, udder, sometimes perineum, on muzzle of suckling calves
 
−
**'''Bovine herpes virus - 4 = Bovine herpes mammary pustular dermatitis'''
 
−
***Similar to localised BHV-2 but milder disease
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
*May be latent and reappear at times of stress
 
−
*Grossly:
 
−
**[[Skin Glossary - Pathology|Vesicles, ulcers, crusts]]
 
−
*Microscopically:
 
−
**Intraepidermal vesicle
 
−
**Epidermal cell degeneration
 
−
**[[Skin Glossary - Pathology|Acantholysis]]
 
−
**Syncytial cells may form
 
−
**Intracellular inclusion bodies may be found at edges of ulcers
 
−
**Rapid necrosis
 
−
 
 
−
===[[Poxviruses]]===
 
−
 
 
−
*Lesion development:
 
−
**Due to viral invasion of epithelium
 
−
**Vascular injury -> ischaemic necrosis
 
−
**Stimulation of host DNA -> hyperplastic nodules
 
−
*Cutaneous lesions:
 
−
**[[Skin Glossary - Pathology|Macule]] -> [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|papule]] -> [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|vesicle]] -> umbilicated [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|pustule]] -> [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|crust]] -> [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|scar]]

−
 
 
−
*Also called '''contagious pustular dermatitis, orf, sore mouth'''
 
−
*Caused by a [[Poxviridae|parapox virus]]
 
−
*Affects mainly young sheep, less commonly cattle, humans, dogs
 
−
*Starts in abrasions around mouth commisures and spreads to [[Lips - Anatomy & Physiology|lips]], oral mucosa, eyelids and feet
 
−
*May also transfer to teats of the mother of an affected lamb
 
−
*Lesions typical of poxvirus but very brief vesicle stage
 
−
*Most obvious is the proliferative pustular stage
 
−
 
 
−
===Other viruses===
 
−
*Cutaneous lesion are seen with:
 
−
**[[Picornaviridae]]
 
−
***[[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Foot and Mouth disease|Foot-and-mouth disease]]
 
−
***[[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Swine Vesicular Disease|Swine vesicular disease]]
 
−
**[[Rhabdoviridae]]
 
−
***Vesicular stomatitis
 
−
**[[Caliciviridae]]
 
−
***Vesicular exanthema
 
−
**[[Retroviridae]]
 
−
***'''Feline leukemia virus'''
 
−
****Cutaneous horns on foot pads
 
−
****Epidermal and follicular epithelial hyperplasia, epidermal giant cells, dyskeratosis, necrosis, ulceration
 
−
***'''Feline immunodeficiency virus'''
