===[[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====

*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:
 
**[[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
 
===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'''
