Detects Orf Virus in goats across four districts, indicating ongoing transmission and public health implications.
The findings indicate that ORFV is endemic in Tanzania, with closely related viral strains circulating across multiple regions. The observed genetic conservation suggests ongoing transmission among susceptible goat populations. Expanded genomic surveillance and zoonotic investigations are warranted to better understand ORFV epidemiology and public health risks.
