Abstract
Geographical differences in the reported incidence of MCF in New Zealand are related to sheep/cattle and beef/dairy cattle ratios in the area. Apparent differences in age susceptibility may be due to differential reporting, but this point needs experimental clarification. The seasonal pattern suggests an increased risk during the peri- and post-lambing periods.Keywords
