Abstract: A total of 20 male lambs agaed 4-6 months, were included in this study. They were proved to be clinically healthy and free from antibodies against sheep pox in their sera (seronegative). The animals were divided into four equal groups, the first and second groups weer vaccinated with the field dose of sheep pox vaccine, while the other groups (Group3and4) were left without vaccination. One month after vaccination, the 2nd (vaccinated) and the 3rd (nonvaccinated)groups were experimentally infected with the virulent sheep pox virus. All groups were kept under observation and strict isolation measures. Blood and serum samples weer regularly collected from all animals before and after inoculation for biochemical, immunological and haematological experiments. The results showed significant variations in biochemical, immune response and haematological pictures between the different groups, which could help in field diagnosis.
