Abstract
SUMMARY Rinderpest was associated with very mild clinical symptoms in 2 sheep and 2 goats. There were slight nasal discharges and slight diarrhoea for a few days. Virus was isolated from nasal swabs and faeces of one sheep from the fifth to seventh days after injection; from the faeces of the 2 goats between the fifth and seventh day; and from the nasal swab of one goat on the fifth day. During nasal excretion of the virus the nose of the sheep and of the goat appeared to be normal. Virus was isolated from faeces which appeared normal. Following close contact with the 2 infected goats, one of 3 susceptible cattle developed rinderpest and died. None of 3 cattle became injected after similar contact with 2 sheep with rinderpest. The implications for the control of rinderpest in cattle are discussed.
