Rinderpest is an extremely contagious and devastating disease found in cattle.
Rinderpest is also referred to as the "cattle plague". It is an extremely contagious and devastating disease found in cattle. It is caused by a virus associated with human measles, canine distemper, etcetera. It arrived in Africa in the late 1880s and was carried by infected cattle imported from British Asia to serve food to the Italian soldiers invading Eritrea in East Africa.

The maximum number of cattle were killed due to this disease, and the loss of cattle destroyed African livelihoods.
