A brief review is given of some of the more recent findings on lesions of diseases affecting the central nervous system of animals. These include local diseases caused by poisonous plants; Helichrysum argyrosphaerum, Solanum kwebense, Matricaria nigellaefolia; infectious diseases e.g. heartwater, cerebral babesiosis and cranial abscesses in goats caused by Corynebacterium pyogenes. Reference is also made to some conditions, originally described in overseas countries and which subsequently have been diagnosed in South Africa. Original findings on lesions seen in mycotoxicoses caused by Fusarium moniliforme and Aspergillus clavatus are included. |
