Article Abstract
This article presents the case of a 25-year-old Moroccan male who contracted Orf disease (Ecthyma contagiosum), a common zoonotic viral infection in sheep and goats. The disease, caused by a parapoxvirus, can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals. The patient developed painful lesions on his fingers after interacting with a sheep during the Feast of Sacrifice. Diagnosis was clinically established considering exposure history and lesion characteristics. Treatment involved local antiseptics and 2% fusidic acid cream. The lesions resolved spontaneously over a few weeks without functional impairment.

Cellular systems responsible for the formation and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS), functioning within physiological limits, are essential for maintaining intracellular redox balance. This state is known as oxidative eustress. Key redox signaling molecules, such as superoxide anion radical (O) and hydrogen peroxide (HO), operate at nanomolar concentrations and are produced by NADPH oxidases (regulated by various factors), the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), and numerous enzymes.

Ebola virus (EBOV), one of the deadliest diseases, is responsible for infecting individuals with hemorrhagic fever syndrome, which remains an ongoing worldwide health concern. The extremely deadly nature and virulence of EBOV illness illuminate the imperative need to evolve effective curative agents. Viral protien (VP35) acts as an Achilles heel for EBOV reproduction and also interacts with numerous human proteins, which leads to impairing the immune system.

A novel barna-like virus was found to be associated with field-collected plant-parasitic nematodes. The positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome of this virus, named Afrina barna-like virus (AfBLV), comprises 4020 nucleotides encoding four open reading frames (ORFs). ORF 1 encodes a protein product spanning a transmembrane, a peptidase, and VPg domains, whereas an overlapping ORF 2 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP).

The highly pathogenic Nipah virus (NiV), a World Health Organization priority pathogen with pandemic potential, remains a critical public health threat due to its capacity to cause fatal encephalitis and respiratory disease. Despite its 1998 emergence, no approved therapeutics exist against NiV infection, underscoring the urgent need to identify genomic regulatory elements as antiviral targets. Our study focuses on the extended 5' UTRs characteristic of NiV transcripts, a distinctive genomic feature whose functional significance remained enigmatic.

Vaccine development for the prevention of ASF has been very challenging due to the extensive genetic and largely unknown antigenic diversity. Inactivated vaccines, using different inactivation methods and a variety of adjuvants, have been consistently inefficacious. Historically, animals recovering from an infection with an attenuated virus became protected from the development of a clinical disease caused by an antigenically related strain.
