| contagious e. |
1. an endemic infectious disease of sheep and goats caused by a poxvirus, characterized by the development on non-wool-bearing areas, especially the lips and oral mucosa, of an erythematous vesiculopustular eruption, the lesions of which may coalesce and crust over, forming large scabs that fall off, followed by healing of the tissues without scarring. Called also contagious pustular dermatitis, orf, sore mouth, and ulcerative stomatitis of sheep. 2. in humans, presence of a small number of painless pustules on a finger; if lesions become disseminated, systematic symptoms such as lymphadenitis and fever may occur. Human infection usually occurs only by contact with infected animals.
