The case of a marine mammal technician who sustained a seal-bite to the hand that produced a lesion clinically very similar to orf is described. Sequence analysis of the viral DNA amplified from the lesion by the polymerase chain reaction indicated that it was sealpox virus in origin. This is the first report providing unequivocal evidence that sealpox may be transmitted to humans and causes lesions very similar to orf.
