IV. Course of the infection in two recently goat herds.h[electronic resource]  c1986  aAbstract: Adult animals from 2 herds were examined clinically and serologically, 5 (Herd A) and 4 (Herd B) times during the same period of 3% years. Serum samples were examined for antibodies against Gorynebac-terium pseudotuberculosis using the bacterial agglutination test (BAT) and the hemolysis inhibition test (HIT). The results of the first examination showed that no animal in Herd A was seropositive, while in Herd B 1 animal showed a high positive titre in BAT. The prevalence of animals with superficial swellings was then 2 % in Herd A and 4 % in Herd B. In both herds, the prevalence of animals with superficial swellings and seropositive reactions increased during the following 1?2 yeairs. About 30 % of animals had superficial lesions and close to 100 % were seropositive. The proportion, of animals with superficial swellings and seropositive reactions was almost constant on subsequent examinations. In some of the animals, superficial swellings were found during 2 or more of the examinations, a few animals having such lesions at the same site on both or all occasions. Animals in Herd A became infected through grazing together with goats from infected herds. Caseous lymphadenitis was introduced into Herd B by animals obtained from infected herds.  aAnimal pathology  aCaseous lymphadenitis  aDisease control  aDisease prevention  aGoat diseases  aGoats  aImmunology  aCaprino  aCorynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis  aDoença  aLinfadenite Caseosa  tActa Veterinaria Scandinavicagv. 27, n. 4, p. 609-116, 1986.
