Report
Human Orf Virus Infection from Household Exposures - United States, 2009-2011
2012
Overview
Orf, also known as contagious ecthyma, is a zoonotic infection caused by a dermatotropic parapoxvirus that commonly infects sheep and goats; it is transmitted to humans through contact with an infected animal or fomites. In humans, orf manifests as an ulcerative skin lesion sometimes resembling bacterial infection or neoplasm. Bogoch et al describe four cases of human orf associated with household meat processing or animal slaughter, highlighting the importance of nontraditional risk factors. A CDC editorial note is presented.
