Fowl Pox Virus is a viral infection that primarily affects birds, especially domestic poultry like chickens and turkeys. It is caused by a member of the Poxviridae family and is characterized by the appearance of lesions on the skin and in the mouth. The virus spreads through direct contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, and it can also be transmitted by insects such as mosquitoes. The disease can manifest in two forms: the cutaneous form, which causes wart-like growths on the skin, and the diphtheritic form, which affects the respiratory system. While Fowl Pox Virus is not typically fatal, it can lead to secondary infections and reduced productivity in affected birds. Vaccination is an effective preventive measure against this virus.
