Orf Virus Transmission

Direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials, such as feeders, bedding, or surfaces, can transmit the Orf virus responsible for pox.

Young or Immuno compromised Animals

Younger or animals with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to contracting the virus and developing pox lesions.

Seasonal Factors

Pox outbreaks often occur during periods of higher environmental contamination or when animals are grazing on rough terrain that could potentially cause minor abrasions, allowing the virus to enter the skin more easily.
