| Contagious ecthyma is a viral infectious disease that affects some domestic and wild ruminants in addition to camels. Clinical form of disease affects most young animals. The study of the disease occurrence in Iran shows that among notifiable diseases of camel contagious ecthyma is ranked second after the Camelpox. Considering the commonality of the disease and the economic losses of the disease, the present paper discusses the challenges of disease and solutions for them. Camel breeding traditional, no compliance with health regulations and quarantine criteria by camel breeders, lack of comprehensive national program of surveillance, control and prevention of disease, high density of sheep and goat population and common grazing with camels, lack of effective vaccine against disease, droughts, endemicity of disease, widespread distribution of disease, significant smuggling od animals with neighboring countries and resistance of the virus are the most important challenges of disease control. To address these challenges, it is recommended to develop and implement a comprehensive national program of surveillance, control and prevention of Echtyma in camel, sheep and goat populations, provision of appropriate vaccine for camel population, development of vaccination coverage of sheep and goat populations especially in herds located in camel breeding areas, compliance with health and quarantine regulations and supporting the development of industrial camel breeding and camel breeders training on disease prevention. | ||
