Gross lesions following experimental capripoxvirus infection in sheep and goats. (A) Primary lesion on the lateral thorax of a sheep at DPI 4. The lesion was well-demarcated, thickened, red and 4 to 5 cm in diameter. The black mark encircling the lesion was applied to the skin at DPI 0 to identify the site of inoculation. (B) Multifocal papular exanthem on the lateral chest of a goat at DPI 8. Papules (arrowheads) were well-circumscribed, of variable shape, widely distributed and ranged from several millimeters to 1 to 2 cm in diameter. (C) Multifocal ulcerative enanthem in the soft palate of a goat at DPI 15. Ulcerated lesions (arrowheads) were well-circumscribed and ranged from several millimeters to 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Similar ulcerated lesions were present on the tongue, nasal mucosa or buccal mucosa in sheep or goats from DPI 10. (D) Multifocal nodular pneumonia in a goat at DPI 11. Nodules (arrowheads) were pale or red in color, distributed throughout the lung parenchyma and ranged from several millimeters to 4 to 5 cm in diameter. (E) Multifocal nodular enanthem in the rumen mucosa of a goat at DPI 13. Nodules (arrowheads) were pale in color, ranged from several millimeters to 1 to 2 cm in diameter and were readily apparent from the serosal surface of the organ. (F) Multifocal nodular lesions in the liver of a goat at DPI 13. Nodules (arrowheads) were well-circumscribed, pale in color and ranged from pinpoint to 5 mm in diameter.
