Abstract
Extract
The observations of Crawford (Citation1949) in the Gisborne district of N.Z. have shown that pathological lesions of the testes and epididymes were encountered in 10 per cent. of a large number of rams examined by scrotal palpation. From rams forwarded to Wallaceville, McFarlane et al. (Citation1952b) isolated the causal organism both from affected genitalia and from semen. A morphologically similar organism was demonstrated in diseased foetal membranes of ewes by McFarlane et al. (Citation1952a). Buddie and Boyes (Citation1953) were able to establish the identity of the organism from rams and ewes as a possible mutant of Brucella melitensis.
