Pulmonary adenomatosis (jaagsiekte) of sheep in Canada.
Sheep pulmonary adenomatosis has recently been reported in Canada. The literature is briefly reviewed and an account of the present status of the disease in Canada is described.Sheep pulmonary adenomatosis was first diagnosed in Canada in December 1979 in a first generation descendent of sheep imported from Great Britain. In March 1980 two further cases of sheep pulmonary adenomatosis were diagnosed in a second flock. A total of 43 sheep involving eight flocks from five provinces have been observed from December, 1979 to May, 1981. The clinical signs and laboratory findings were similar to those described in sheep from other countries. It is estimated that 30% of Canadian flocks may contain sheep imported from Great Britain during the 1970's.
