THE establishment of the Single Market in the European Union and freer movement of animals and products has increased the risk that some diseases that have been eliminated from the United Kingdom could return, almost without notice. This article describes the important epidemiological and diagnostic features of the viral and subviral diseases of cattle, sheep and goats that are notifiable in the UK. An article on the notifiable diseases of pigs has been published previously in In Practice (May 1994, pp 110‐128).
