​

</TD></TR><TR><TD>Definition

Sheep and goat pox (SGP) is an acute to chronic disease of sheep and goats characterized by generalized pox lesions throughout the skin and mucous membranes, a persistent fever, lymphadenitis, and often a focal viral pneumonia with lesions distributed uniformly throughout the lungs. Subclinical cases may occur.​

. . . .​

Public Health
There is no conclusive evidence that SGPV infects humans. A report from India (17) that implied that goat pox caused human infection was merely based on clinical signs. There was no attempt to isolate the causative virus or perform serology on the convalescent serums of the three patients to differentiate the infection from contagious ecthyma, which is a known zoonotic agent that occurs worldwide. A report from Sweden (1) indicated that human infection occurred during an outbreak of goat pox. Although serological studies seemed to indicate that the apparent causative agent of the outbreak was not vaccinia or contagious ecthyma, no virus was isolated. Therefore, it cannot be said that goat pox virus caused human infection.​
