Abstract
A total number of 2.38.650 sheep were examined for the evidence of contagious pustular dermatitis. Of the total animals examined, 1,672 cases were found to be suffering from the disease. The pathogenicity of the etiologic virus was studied in rabbits, sheep and in developing chick embryos. The principal lesions of the disease consisted of oedematous swollen, prominent papulovesicular eruptions and a wide lone of erythema around them terminating into hard and dry crusts. Tissue specimens, from the lesions, were processed and examined for histo-pathologic changes. Agglutination tests were conducted with the red blood cells of rabbit, sheep and chicken. None of the sample was positive to agglutination test.
