In the U.K., where sheep scab is endemic, neither the disease nor the mites appear to be transmitted from sheep to cattle or goats. Geographic Distribution Sheep scab has been eradicated from Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, the U.S. and Canada, but it can still be found in many other countries.
Sheep and goat pox viruses are spread by aerosol (respiratory secretions) between animals, direct contact or indirectly by fomites. The viruses are found in saliva, secretions from the nose or eyes, milk, urine and feces. The scabs from skin lesions are also contagious and may be present in dust or soil.
