Abstract:
The clinical and pathological features of the contagious ecthyma in camel calves in the Sudan were investigated. The animals were inappetant, emaciated and slightly anaemic. The disease was characterized by skin lesions around the lips and nostrils with occasional involvement of mucocutaneous junctions. The pathology includes vaculoar changes of the epithelial layers. Affected areas were ulcerated, haemorrhagic and with frequent secondary bacterial surinfection. Negative contrast electron microscopy has proven to be an extremely useful procedure for quick differential diagnosis.
