Abstract
Sheep is apparently fairly resistant against infections with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). Grønstøl (unpublished) found that a high proportion of healthy sheep are carriers of Lm. In such animals Lm may cause clinical disease when resistance is lowered. Tick-borne fever (TBF) is known to reduce the resistance against several infections (Øverås 1972). This report describes listeric septicaemia associated with TBF.Keywords
