was carried out in 13 outbreaks in the course of which 108 un-
inoculated animals died, 659 bovines were inoculated of which
3 died of the disease.

gation Officer has now standardised the method of vaccinating
healthy animals against this disease. Lung Tissue derived from
a diseased goat is formalised mixed with glycerine and injected

when 659 goats were protected. 108 un-inoculated and 3 inocu-
lated goats died in the course of these outbreaks
