EXPLANATION
Necrotic rhinitis, commonly known as bull nose, is associated with necrotic inflammation of the nasal tissues, particularly in pigs. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), caused by bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), is also called red nose because of the characteristic hyperaemia and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Contagious ecthyma, also known as Orf or contagious pustular dermatitis, is a viral disease of sheep and goats caused by a parapoxvirus. Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is also called Charbon disease.
