Very few viruses can infect more than one species of animal.
Notable exceptions are rabies and the influenza group which both can affect animals and man.
Foot and Mouth disease in comparison is very promiscuous in being able to infect all even toed animals, all the common split hoofed farm animals, wild deer and like animals and elephants and rhinos. It is not considered infective to man. With the different strains of foot and mouth disease there is generally a preference for a particular species. In 1997 the Taiwan outbreak was a swine adapted strain of FMD and no ruminants were affected with the disease. In the current outbreak in the United Kingdom primarily sheep and cattle are being affected.
