Özet:
In this thesis the results of an investigation of a syndrome of unthriftiness and anaemia in Scottish hill lambs is described. The field investigation which commenced at the terminal stages of the disease in 1976 led to the isolation in the laboratory of three pathogens, two at least of which, Babesia and Eperythrozoon, could reasonably have been considered to be responsible for the syndrome. The isolation of the Babesia from sheep was the first recorded occurrence of this genus in sheep in the British Isles. The third pathogen Cytoecetes phagocytophila, the cause of tick-borne fever in tick-infested pasture in the British Isles is generally not associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite these findings field observations conducted in 1977 suggested that an entirely different aetiology was primarily responsible for the mortality i.e. Escherichia coli septicaemia or Pasteurella haemolytica septicaemia. These results are discussed and an attempt made to assess the possible relevance of the Babesia and Eperythrozoon parasites in the syndrome.
