Abstract
After twenty years’ preoccupation with the idea that the toxin responsible for this disease was produced by a pasture plant, the discovery in 1958 of its origin in a specific fungus has changed the whole face of research. Events since then have moved rapidly. The toxin has been isolated and identified, and work is being concentrated chiefly on its biochemical relationships to the animal and on new possibilities of control.Keywords
