Sheep pox and goat pox is a contagious viral disease of small ruminants, which result from infection by sheep pox virus (SPV) or goat-pox virus (GPV). The two viruses belong to the Capripoxvirus genus, Poxviridae family, which includes a third virus, causing lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle.
In sheep and goats, the clinical signs vary from mild to severe clinical disease, normally beginning with the onset of fever followed by erythematous macules that develop into papules (1). Lesions may also develop on the mucous membrane and on internal organs, causing systemic signs (respiratory signs, diarrhoea, depression, emaciation, abortion and sometimes death).

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a zoonosis that can be transmitted through tick bites, through contact with crushed infected ticks, through contact with viraemic tissues of infected wild or domestic animals  during and immediately post-slaughter or through person to person transmission by contact with infectious blood or body fluids. 
  The Global Early Warning and Response System (GLEWS) is a joint system that builds on the added value of combining and coordinating the alert and response mechanisms of OIE, FAO and WHO for the international community and stakeholders to assist in prediction, prevention and control of animal disease threats, including zoonoses, through sharing of information, epidemiological analysis and joint field missions to assess and control the outbreak, whenever needed  |
