Abstract

A severe outbreak of contagious ecthyma (orf) is described in sheep in Saudi Arabia. In some of the affected sheep, the condition was highly aggravated by myiasis which appeared to have been favoured by the abundance of flies during the hot season. The outbreak is discussed in relation to the epidemiology of the disease in Saudi Arabia.
