Abstract: "Infectious and noninfectious diseases and common ailments of sheep in America are considered in this bulletin. It does not deal with diseases caused by animal parasites, such as gid, grub in the head, stomach, lung, and intestinal-worm affections, liver rot, scabies, etc., nor with plant poisoning. These diseases are described in other publications of the Department of Agriculture. The aim has been to give only the more important of characteristic symptoms which would be of value in distinguishing one disease from another.... Methods of treatment are outlined with regard to ease of application and the use of remedies which are both effective and easily procured." -- p. 39

A review of Melophagus ovinus (L.), the sheep ked.
TL;DR: Changes in agricultural practice, both greater intensification and development of more extensive systems (including organic farming and conservation grazing), may allow resurgence and a review of existing knowledge of M. ovinus may be timely.

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the population biology is used to develop even better simulation models and to produce expert systems based on these models which can be used by veterinarians and others to determine optimal procedures for individual farms to control disease and reduce sub-clinical economic losses.
Genetic diversity of ruminant pestiviruses from Spain
TL;DR: Although further studies are needed, the grouping of an ovine sample with CSFV strains would be the first description of aCSFV genotype for ovine pestiviruses.
Pasteurella multocida pneumonic infection in sheep: Prevalence, clinical and pathological studies
TL;DR: Results imply that although P. multocida infection of the respiratory tract of lambs produces less fulminating form of pneumonic pasteurellosis, it nonetheless contributes to the incidence of the disease in the field.
