This document lists and categorizes common bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases that affect sheep and goats. It covers diseases grouped by their symptoms and manifestations, such as respiratory diseases, diseases causing abscesses or sudden death, neurological diseases, and diseases characterized by lameness, skin or mouth lesions, or transmission by vectors. Common diseases mentioned include anthrax, brucellosis, foot rot, caseous lymphadenitis, scrapie, and those caused by pasteurella, mycoplasma, bluetongue virus, and various internal and external parasites.
