Abstract

An attenuated vaccine incorporating the Romanian sheeppoxvirus strain is used to immunize sheep and goats in Saudi Arabia. Recently, a severe outbreak of a capripoxvirus was seen only in goats in a farm containing a mixed flock of sheep and goats. Experimental infection of sheep and goats with that virus strain confirmed its high affinity to goats.
