Rinderpest was a dangerous infectious disease that affected cattle. It is very similar to measles in human beings. Besides cattle, it also affected the water buffaloes, giraffes, etc. It had a very high mortality rate and had killed almost 90% of the population of the cattle in Africa. This forced the people to work as labourers under the Europeans as a result.
