    Acta Virologica

    Summary

    A novel pustular dermatitis, camel contagious ecthyma (CCE), caused by a Parapoxvirus, emerged in Mongolian camels. Vaccination with CCE virus showed promise, unlike other poxvirus vaccines.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Pustular dermatitis outbreaks caused by Parapoxvirus were documented in Mongolian camels starting in 1979.
    • The disease exhibited high morbidity rates across different age groups of camels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the causative agent of the observed pustular dermatitis in camels.
    • To investigate the potential of vaccination for controlling the disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation and characterization of the virus from affected camels.
    • Inoculation of the virus onto chick embryo membranes (chorioallantoic membrane).
    • Experimental transmission of the disease to susceptible camels.

    Main Results:

    • The virus, designated camel contagious ecthyma (CCE), was successfully isolated and grown in chick embryos.
    • CCE virus successfully induced disease upon experimental transmission to camels.
    • Vaccination with CCE virus material demonstrated potential efficacy.
    • Vaccination with vaccinia virus or sheep/goat contagious ecthyma vaccines did not protect camels.

    Conclusions:

    • A distinct Parapoxvirus, CCE, is responsible for pustular dermatitis in camels.
    • A specific vaccine against CCE virus is necessary for effective disease control.
