On June 26, 2025, an outbreak of Pox Diseases in sheep, goats, and other animals was detected in ovine and caprine germplasm. This incident has raised concerns regarding the bio-contaminant risk associated with the germplasm sourced from China.
The identification of these diseases in germplasm underscores the importance of monitoring and controlling animal health risks, particularly in the context of international trade and animal breeding practices. The outbreak has implications for the agricultural sector, especially for those involved in the breeding and management of sheep and goats.
Authorities are closely examining the situation to assess the impact of the outbreak on animal health and the potential risks posed to livestock populations. The situation highlights the need for vigilance in the management of animal diseases and the importance of ensuring that germplasm is free from bio-contaminants.
