Abstract

One of 73 wild Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) captured at Sheep Creek, Alaska, had crusty lesions on mammary glands and teats compatible with contagious ecthyma (CE). A paravaccinia virus, indistinguishable from CE virus was cultured from the crusted scabs removed from the mammary gland. This is the first report of CE in free-ranging Dall sheep.
