Diagnoses in 1,784 ovine abortions and stillbirths

CA Kirkbride

Veterinary Science Department, South Dakota State University, Brookings 57007.

Of 1,799 accessions of ovine abortions and stillbirths by the South Dakota Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory during a 10-year period, 1,784 were suitable for examination. Etiologic diagnoses were made in 786 (44%). Infectious agents were found responsible in 702 accessions (39%), and noninfectious causes were involved in 84 (5%). No diagnosis was made in 998 accessions (56%), 61 of which were mummified fetuses. Lesions, most of which indicated the presence of an infectious agent, were found in 274 cases (15%) in which no agent could be identified. Together, Toxoplasma gondii, Campylobacter sp., and Chlamydia psittaci caused approximately 25% of all abortions and stillbirths examined.
