Viral diseases

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates itself only within cells of living organisms. Many are pathogenetic. Viruses cause several common diseases in sheep and goats. On this page, links are organized alphabetically according to disease: bluetongue, caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE), foot-and-mouth disease, louping ill, Nairobi sheep disease, ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP, Maedi visna), and rabies.

The Maryland Small Ruminant Page [sheepandgoat.com] was created in 1998 as an information portal for sheep and goat producers and anyone else interested in sheep and goat production. The web site includes original documents and images as well as a comprehensive list of links pertaining to small ruminants and related topics. The web site was developed and is maintained by Susan Schoenian, Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist at the University of Maryland's Western Maryland Research & Education Center.

She holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and Montana State University, respectively, and also attended The Ohio State University. Susan conducts the Western Maryland Pasture-Based Meat Goat Performance Test at her research facility in Keedysville. She raises registered and commercial Katahdin sheep on her small farm called The Baalands in Clear Spring, Maryland.
