Abstract
SUMMARY Two goats and 2 sheep from field outbreaks of Stypandra imbricata toxicosis had severe lesions in the retina, optic nerves and white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical, ophthalmoscopic, fluorescein angiographic, electroretinographic and histologic findings are described. Principal features were blindness, central retinal degeneration and atrophy, necrosis and degeneration of axons in the optic nerves and optic tracts and status spongiosus of cerebral white matter.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
