Abstract

          Orf is a zoonotic disease also known as a sore mouth disease that mostly affects sheep goats and other animals. People can get it too if they have contact with infected animals, people, and animals usually recover without long–term effects. The disease is caused by orf virus, a type of poxvirus. Lesions usually develop on the hands, and around the mouth and can occur anywhere and resolve within (4-6) weeks without treatment. According to (CDC) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the disease is not transmitted from human to human.
