A survey of sheep and goat producers in the state of Maharashtra, India, was undertaken to ascertain the extent and economic impact of sheep pox and goat pox (SGP). One thousand one hundred and sixteen owners were interviewed. Eighty owners (7.2%) reported that they had experienced an outbreak of the disease in the previous 6 years. The results showed that, while producers ranked SGP below other infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, rinderpest and enterotoxaemia, when SGP occurred it had a major impact, with average morbidity and mortality rates of 63.5% and 49.5%, respectively. Modelling studies suggested it would take about 6 years for a flock or herd to recover from an outbreak, with average annual losses in income of 30-43%, depending on flock type and the owner's actions. Statewide, it is estimated that around 5000 flocks and herds are affected by SGP annually in Maharashtra, costing up to INR 107.5 million. The highest losses occurred in the Aurangabad region.
对印度马哈拉施特拉邦的绵羊和山羊养殖户进行了一项调查，以确定绵羊痘和山羊痘（SGP）的发病程度及其经济影响。共采访了1116名养殖户。80名养殖户（7.2%）报告称，他们在过去6年中经历过该病的爆发。结果显示，虽然养殖户将SGP排在口蹄疫、牛瘟和肠毒血症等其他传染病之后，但当SGP发生时，它会产生重大影响，平均发病率和死亡率分别为63.5%和49.5%。模型研究表明，一个羊群或牛群从一次疫情中恢复大约需要6年时间，根据畜群类型和养殖户的应对措施，平均每年收入损失30%-43%。据估计，在马哈拉施特拉邦，全州每年约有5000个羊群和牛群受到SGP影响，损失高达1.075亿印度卢比。奥兰加巴德地区的损失最为惨重。
