Camel pox is an infectious disease caused by the poxviruses. It primarily affects camels, but can also infect other animals, and occasionally humans. Symptoms include fever, muscle pain, headaches, and skin lesions on the face, neck and legs.

In camels, camel pox can be spread through direct contact with infected animals, or through contact with items that have been contaminated with camel pox virus. The disease is also spread through contact with infected bodily fluids. Camel pox usually resolves within two to three weeks with no serious health problems, but can be spread to other animals (including humans) during this time period.

In humans, camel pox is usually mild and self-limiting. Symptoms may include a rash, fever, and muscle aches. The rash usually appears seven to ten days after exposure to the virus and is usually seen on the face, neck, and upper chest. It may spread to the rest of the body, usually in the form of scabs. In most cases, no treatment is necessary and the symptoms usually resolve within two weeks.

In rare cases,infection can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis. Treatment typically includes supportive care and antiviral medication. Vaccines are available to protect camels from the virus.

To prevent camel pox in camels, good hygiene and avoiding contact with infected animals is essential. Additionally, pregnant and immunocompromised animals should be vaccinated. In humans, it is important to avoid direct contact with camels, their bodily fluids, and items contaminated with the virus. If contact does occur, hand-washing should be performed immediately.
