title: [Pseudotuberculosis in goats also in the Netherlands. A literature review].
abstract: Pseudotuberculosis or caseous lymphadenitis in goats is marked by superficial abscesses and was recently observed in the Netherlands. The literature on this disease is reviewed, concerning the incidence, aetiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, therapy and preventive measures. The damage which the disease could cause to goat husbandry in the Netherlands, is discussed. Although the losses from death and diminished production will probably be small, treatment is time-consuming and requires much labour. The greatest damage will possibly consist in the fact that breeders will not be able to sell their animals when caseous lymphadenitis occurs in their herd. Particularly, the export of breeding stock could be menaced by this disease.
