Review of sheep and goat pox disease: current updates on epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention and control measures in Ethiopia
Abstract Sheep pox, goat pox, and lumpy skin diseases are economically significant and contagious viral diseases of sheep, goats and cattle, respectively, caused by the genus Capripoxvirus (CaPV) of the family Poxviridae. Currently, CaPV infection of small ruminants (sheep and goats) has been distri...
