There is no disease currently in the news that is specifically affecting cheetahs. Cheetahs, as a group, are more prone to diseases in comparison with other big cats because they lack genetic diversity. At some point in the past, cheetahs nearly went extinct but came back from the brink from a few closely related survivors. The lack of diversity means that a disease that will affect one will likely affect all.
