“…Studies focusing on viral infections in aquatic organisms have targeted mainly those species of commercial importance and especially those of aquaculture exploitation [21], or those associated with captivity and tourism industry, such as marine mammals in aquariums and water parks [22].…”

“…Gammacoronavirus detected in marine mammals, unlike Bafinivirus in fish, can also be found in the respiratory tracts of terrestrial and marine mammals and not only in the digestive tracks [5]. Viruses such as influenza A and B have been reported in mammals such as seals and cetaceans [5,22], which have come to be considered as reservoirs and vectors towards humans [5]. This scenario opens up the possibility that other viruses, including CoVs, could be transmitted to humans when interacting and coming into contact with seals, sea lions and dolphins in water parks and aquariums.…”

“…There is a history of other viral respiratory infections transmitted to humans from either wild or captive animals [15,22]. That is the case with influenza-A, caused by the H7N7 virus, in people infected during a necropsy performed to a seal [43], or by coming into contact with the sneeze of a seal in captivity [22], causing conjunctivitis, rather than typical influenza or respiratory disease. A similar case has also been identified for Influenza B [5,22].…”

Coronaviruses are pathogens recognized for having an animal origin and commonly associated with terrestrial environments. However, although in few cases, there are reports of their presence in aquatic organisms like fish, crustaceans, waterfowls and marine mammals. None of these cases have even led to human health effects, when contact with these infected organisms, whether they are alive or dead. Aquatic birds seem to be the main group in carrying and circulating these types of viruses in healthy bird populations and play an important role in these environments. Although the route of infection for CoVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) by water or aquatic organisms, has not yet been observed in the wild, the relevance of its study is highlighted , because there are cases of other viral infections (no coronavirus), which are known to have been transferred to the human by aquatic biota. What is even better, it becomes encouraging to know that aquatic species shows very few cases in fishes, marine mammals, and crustaceans, and some other aquatic animals may also be a possible source of cure or treatment against coronaviruses, as some evidence with algae and marine sponges suggests.

“…This fact is synonymous with other infectious diseases such as Leptospirosis (Bashiru and Bahaman 2018;Garba et al, 2017;2018), Pnuemonic Manheimiasis (Zamri-Saad et al, 1999). People, particularly small ruminant herders, veterinarians, members of the family who care for the young animals through bottle feeding as well as butchers and meat sellers can be infected by CE virus via direct contact with clinically infected animals and their carcasses during processing or via contaminated feeding materials (Nourani and Maleki, 2006;Nandi et al, 2011;Shapiro, 2017). Lesions develop mostly on fingers, hands, forearms, face, and sometimes on genitalia (Hagis and Ginn, 2001).…”

Contagious ecthyma (CE) is an infectious disease of small ruminants caused by a parapoxvirus of family Poxviridae subfamily Chordopoxvirinae. The disease is obviously distinguished by an establishment of scabby lesions and ulcerative formation on less hairy areas including muzzle, ears, nostril, and sometimes on genitalia. The disease is endemic in sheep and goats. The virus is transmissible to other ruminants and is a public health concern in humans. Although the disease is known as self-limiting, it may cause a significant economic threat and financial losses due to lower productivity in livestock production. Information with regard to the risk of the disease and epidemiology in most parts of the world is underreported. This paper aims to provide relevant information about the epidemiology of CE in selected regions of Europe, South America, North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. An in-depth comprehension of virus infection, diagnoses, and management of the disease will enable farmers, researchers, veterinarians, abattoir workers, health personnel, and border controllers to improve their measures, skills, and effectiveness toward disease prevention and control, toward reducing unnecessary economic loss among farmers. A herd health program for significant improvement in management and productivity of livestock demands a well planned extension program that ought to encourage farmers to equip themselves with adequate skills for animal healthcare.
