title: Experimental reproduction of ovine vulvitis with bacteria of the haemophilus/histophilus group.
abstract: Ovine vulvitis was experimentally reproduced by intravaginal inoculation of a mixture of bacterial strains of the histophilus/haemophilus group isolated from field cases. Grossly, the experimental vulvitis was identical to the field condition, and bacteria indistinguishable from the inoculated strains were reisolated.
