Sheep pox and goat pox are diseases of sheep and goats caused by pox virus. The variety and range of clinical signs produced by a single strains of virus in different breeds and age groups of animal tends to overlap those produced by different viruses within the same group or even different groups of pox viruses. Thus, contagious pustular dermatitis, easy to diagnose in countries considered free of sheep and goat pox, is probably frequently diagnosed as sheep or goat pox where the diseases co-exist. In the past, vaccinia infection of sheep and goats could also have been misdiagnosed.
绵羊痘和山羊痘是由痘病毒引起的绵羊和山羊疾病。单一毒株病毒在不同品种和年龄组动物中产生的临床症状的种类和范围，往往与同一组甚至不同组痘病毒中不同病毒产生的症状重叠。因此，在被认为无绵羊痘和山羊痘的国家易于诊断的接触传染性脓疱性皮炎，在这两种疾病共存的地方可能经常被诊断为绵羊痘或山羊痘。过去，绵羊和山羊的牛痘感染也可能被误诊。
