Viral skin disease of sheep.
Affect:
No they have their own sheep pox Only humans and a few other primates can get chickenpox.
William Budd has written: 'Variola ovina, sheep's small pox' -- subject(s): Diseases, Sheep, Sheep pox, Veterinary epidemiology 'Typhoid fever' -- subject(s): Typhoid fever 'On the Causes of Fever (1839): On the Causes and Mode of Propagation of the Common Continued Fevers of Great Britain and Ireland (1839)'
Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy: Scrapie in sheep and Mad Cow disease (or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy), cows can get TB and sheep can get foot and mouth
Not exactly. I have seen cowpox and sheep pox , and they are transmissible to humans from open pustules , but are easily treated and are quite mild when they jump to humans. More like chicken pox than small pox. Anyway , it just reinforces proper handwashing.
they brought things like small pox, pigs, horse's, and sheep to the southern colonies
The landforms, climate, and soil affect sheep ranching in a great number of ways. Sheep cannot be kept in desert areas for example.
There are several scientific names for smallpox one of which I know Variola virus.Smallpox is/was caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. Variola major was the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20-40 percent of those infected. The other type, Variola minor, only killed 1% of its victims.
Parasitism. The nematode feeds on the blood, or breaks down the intestines of sheep. Depending on the nematode, the affected sheep can either have a minor affect, diahrea or lockjaw, or major affect, brain trauma and death.
Mostly animals like cows and sheep
small pox affected the upper st'at'imc by wiping out lots of st'at'imc people
One of the most dangerous plants that might affect a sheep is Jimson Weed or Thornapple. See the link.
There are three species of lungworm that affect sheep - Dictyocaulus filaria, Muellerius capillaris and Prostostrongylus rufescens.
