Abstract

The lesions that developed following the inoculations of tissue culture adapted caprine contagious ecthyma virus into the damaged skin of lambs were compared to those produced by ovine contagious ecthyma virus. After three inoculations at days 0 8 and 50 two episodes of histological lesions typical of contagious ecthyma developed. The earliest lesions were observed at 36 hours after the first inoculation and persisted for 7 days and later reappeared at day 16 about 6 days after the second inoculation. Third inoculation failed to reproduce lesions. The gross and histological lesions produced by both the caprine and ovine isolates in lambs were generally similar.
