Abstract
The article is devoted to smallpox of sheep and goats, an infectious disease caused by a highly virulent virus. The disease is characterized by fever, intoxication, development of papular-pustular rash on the skin and mucous membranes. The disease causes huge damage to sheep breeding, due to losses from death, forced slaughter of animals, reduced productivity, and the cost of veterinary and sanitary and security-quarantine measures. Specific treatments for sheep pox patients have not been developed.
