Lumpy skin disease caused by a capripoxvirus was observed in a captive-bred female Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) at the National Wildlife Research Center, Taif, Saudi Arabia. Clinical signs included severe general depression with fever, anorexia, greater than 1,000 nodular cutaneous lesions and gradual recovery over 2 mo. The virus was found by electron microscopy and paired sera showed an increasing virus neutralization antibody titer against capripoxvirus. A serologic survey of the herd of 90 oryx showed a low prevalence (2%) of this infection. This report describes the first case of lumpy skin disease in an Arabian oryx.
在沙特阿拉伯塔伊夫市国家野生动物研究中心，一只人工饲养的雌性阿拉伯羚羊（白长角羚）身上观察到了由山羊痘病毒引起的结节性皮炎。临床症状包括严重的全身萎靡不振、发热、厌食、超过1000个结节性皮肤损伤，并在2个月内逐渐康复。通过电子显微镜发现了该病毒，双份血清显示针对山羊痘病毒的病毒中和抗体效价不断升高。对90只羚羊群的血清学调查显示，这种感染的患病率较低（2%）。本报告描述了阿拉伯羚羊身上首例结节性皮炎病例。
