Actinobacillosis of the omentum in A Cow
نویسنده
چکیده
Actinobacillosis is a specific disease of cattle caused by Actinobacillus lignieresi. Typically it is a sporadic disease involving primarily the tonque and also frequently the rumen and reticulum (Till and Palmer, 1960), However atypical cases do occur. Franco (1970) reported a generalised actinobacillosis in a cow involving the heart, liver, kidneys and all cervicallymphnodes, while Mortimer (1962) described a case in a cow involving the oesophagus. An epizootic type of actinobacillosis has also been described in dairy heifers appearing as subcutaneous granulomas (Campbell et al. 1975).
