Abstract
Extract
An infectious epididymitis of rams caused by Brucella ovis (Buddie, Citation1956) infection, first described in Australia (Simmons and Boyes, Citation1953) and New Zealand (Buddie and Boyes, Citation1953) was recognized subsequently in Czechoslovakia (Gdovin et al, Citation1955), the United States (McGowan and Shultz, Citation1956), South Africa (Van Rensburg et al, Citation1958), Rumania (Tudoriu, et al, Citation1958), and South America (Dr Justo Zomara B, 1961, pers. comm.). As the infection can affect ram fertility and, further, can be responsible for abortion in ewes and perinatal mortality in lambs, attention has been directed to the development, evaluation, and application of control measures in a number of important sheep-raising countries.
