Rinderpest Outbreak, Cattle Plague,1868

Sick and dying cattle at Communipaw drove-yards, during the cattle plague. Rinderpest was an infectious viral disease of cattle, domestic buffalo, and many other species of even-toed ungulates, including large antelope, deer, giraffes, wildebeests, and warthogs. The disease was characterized by fever, oral erosions, diarrhea, lymphoid necrosis, and high mortality. Death rates during outbreaks were usually extremely high, approaching 100% in immunologically naive populations. The disease was mainly spread by direct contact and by drinking contaminated water, although it could also be transmitted by air. Harper's Weekly, August 29, 1868 (cropped and cleaned).
