Professor Spyros Kritas from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki reassures that sheep and goat pox poses no risk to human health. He explains that the virus cannot infect humans and does not survive in dairy products or meat. The disease, endemic to regions including North Africa and the Middle East, has high morbidity and mortality rates. In Greece, strict biosecurity measures are vital to controlling outbreaks, with significant economic implications if vaccination is mandated. Farmers express concern over the potential spread of diseases amid inadequate veterinary resources and call for improved governmental action.
