  abstract = {{B}ackground: {O}rf or contagious ecthyma is a zoonotic viral infection with a potential serious health threat for the small ruminants industry as well as humans. {I}t is currently emerging in new territories. {R}esults: {E}ight suspected clinical cases of pustular dermatitis in goats occurred in the rural area of {T}ebe, in southeastern {G}abon, in {J}anuary 2013. {T}he orf virus ({ORFV}) was detected by high-throughput sequencing on sera, buccal swabs and scab pool samples. {I}t was confirmed in six out of eight sick goats by using specific {PCR} targeting the major envelope protein ({B}2{L}) and the orf virus interferon resistance ({VIR}) genes. {P}hylogenetic analysis revealed that the {G}abonese strain and {S}outh {K}orean strains evolved from a common ancestor, suggesting an {A}sian origin of the {ORFV}' {G}abonese strain. {C}onclusions: {T}his study provides the molecular detection of the {ORFV} strain involved in the cases of pustular dermatitis in goats and highlights its circulation in {G}abon.},
