Sheep plague

I don't quite know what "Late Neolithic Bronze Age" means, but it seems Central Asia had one: 2900-500 BC. That sure covers a lot of definitions for "bronze". They also had plague as we know. What wasn't known was if this could infect animals besides rats and humans (and fleas).

Now we do: the yersinia affected sheep, in the 1800s BC. This specie of peste seems not to have got into fleas; I am unsure that fleas even like sheep. But if it were pneumonic, or blood-transmitted directly, it might not have to jump to fleas.
