===[[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]]

====Contagious ecthyma====
  −
[[Image: Contagious ecthyma.jpg|100px|thumb|right|<small><center>Contagious ecthyma (Courtesy of Bristol BioMed Image Archive)</center></small>]]
  −
 
  −
*Also called '''contagious pustular dermatitis, orf, sore mouth'''
  −
*Caused by a [[Poxviruses#Contagious ecthyma|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
  −
 
  −
===[[Herpesviridae|Herpesviruses]]===
  −
 
  −
*Cutaneous lesions may develop with nondermatotropic viruses:
  −
**[[Viral infections#Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)|Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis]] (bovine herpes virus - 1)
  −
**Equine coital exanthema (equine herpes virus - 3)
  −
**[[Viral infections#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
  −
===Other viruses===
  −
*Cutaneous lesion are seen with:
  −
**[[Picornaviridae]]
  −
***[[Oral Cavity - Cavity & Gingiva#Foot and Mouth disease|Foot-and-mouth disease]]
  −
***[[Oral Cavity - Cavity & Gingiva#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'''
