Calter's language is a viral disease that is transmitted through the bite of colicoides. The disease affects domestic ruminants (the cattle, the sheep, and the goats). The sheep and the goats are the sensitive ones.
Clinical signs and deaths appear only in sheep. The situation serves as a reserve of the disease.
African pig plague is a viral infectious disease that affects wild and domestic pigs. This disease is caused by swine virus (ASFV) and is known for its resistance and death in pigs.
These diseases are not zoonotic, so they are not transmitted to humans and pose no danger to public health. /Periscope/
