The objective of this article was to review the epidemiology and economic importance of sheep and goat pox.

SGPV has worldwide distribution and endemic throughout southwest and central Asia, northern and central Africa, and Middle East countries including Egypt.
SGPV produce unusual economic loss due to high morbidity, mortality rate, reduction in milk and meat production, abortions, poor wool and skin quality and as a result of trade restrictions.
Survival of SGPV in external environment may reach about 6 months.
The virus inactivated by sun light and heat, sensitive to detergents as sodium dodecyl sulphate and ether 20%, chloroform and formalin 1%.
The diseases are more severe in young animals than adults with mortalities up to 100%.
