Which of the following is NOT a vesicular disease listed among the four main vesicular diseases?

Vesicular diseases in livestock are defined by the presence of vesicular, fluid-filled lesions on mucous membranes and often on the feet. The four classic vesicular diseases commonly taught in exams are Foot-and-Mouth Disease, Vesicular Stomatitis, Swine Vesicular Disease, and Vesicular Exanthema of Swine. Rabies, on the other hand, is a viral disease that primarily affects the nervous system and progresses with neurologic signs such as behavioral changes, paralysis, and hydrophobia, rather than vesicular lesions. Because it does not produce the characteristic vesicles seen in the other four diseases, Rabies is not considered one of the vesicular diseases.
