Nairobi sheep disease was seen principally upon movement of susceptible animals into the enzootic areas. This occurred most frequently for marketing purposes near the main centres of population. Other outbreaks followed local breakdowns in tick control measures. The disease did not occur in epizootic form during the period under consideration. Nairobi sheep disease was isolated from pools of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus but not from many pools of other tick species. No virus was isolated from the blood or tissues of a range of wild ruminants and rodents.
内罗毕羊病主要发生在易感动物进入疫区时。这种情况最常发生在人口主要中心附近出于销售目的的动物移动过程中。其他疫情则是由于当地蜱虫控制措施的失败所致。在所研究的时期内,该病未以 epizootic 形式出现。从微小牛蜱的虫体中分离出了内罗毕羊病病毒,但从许多其他蜱种的虫体中未分离出该病毒。从一系列野生反刍动物和啮齿动物的血液或组织中未分离到病毒。
