Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) remains a sporadic but economically important disease worldwide. In terms of the OIE, the World organisation for Animal Health's classification of economically important diseases, MCF is regarded as a List B diesease that inter alia has socio-economic importance within countries, and can be significant in the international trade of animals and animal products. Another important aspect of the disease is its clinical resemblance to other OIE listed diseases that may complicate the diagnosis for inexperienced or uninformed clinicians, most notably renderpest, food-and-mouth disease, bovine virus diarrhoea virus infextions and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. Domestic cattle are more susceptible to the wildebeest-associated form of the disease than the sheep-associated disease, and therefore more common on the African continent where the carriers (reservoir hosts) of alcelaphine herpesvirus type 1, namely blue and black wildebeest have close contact with domestic cattle. In some areas, demographical changes and changes in farming methods and approaches have been responsible for MCF being viewed as an emerging disease. • Video footage and editing: Prof M van Vuuren, Prof JAW Coetzer and Mr A du Plessis • Script writing: Prof M van Vuuren • The complete module is available through the African Veterinary Information Portal (AfriVIP) at: http://www.afrivip.org/education/live... • • AfriVIP is not responsible for verifying the proprietary content of the materials.
