[Ulcerative colitis or amebic colitis--a case report].

The large intestine reacts relatively monomorphically to different stimuli. From this differential-diagnostic problems may result. The history of a patient is described which could be pursued retrospectively and prospectively over 14 years and during the course of which the correction of the diagnosis ulcerous colitis into chronic relapsing amoebic colitis was necessary. As a conclusion is emphasized that in every symptomatology of colitis primarily bacterial and parasitologic examinations of the faeces should be brought about and it must be also thought of spontaneous amoebic infections in our country.

The relation of climate and topography to gastro-intestinal nematode worm egg counts of Angora goats in the Eastern Cape.

Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Ostertagia and Nematodirus worm populations of Angora goats, based on differential egg counts, are considered in relation to climatological and topographical data. Egg counts indicated that the estimated worm populations in goats that experienced wet circumstances were higher than those exposed to dry conditions. Wetness was assessed by relating spring, summer, and early autumn rainfalls to ground slope. It is proposed, that tactical anthelmintic treatments of goats be based on the degree of wetness of the grazing or property.

The relation of climate and topography to worm egg counts of gastro-intestinal nematodes of sheep in the Eastern Cape.

Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Ostertagia and Nematodirus worm populations of sheep based on differential egg counts are considered in relation to climatological and topographical data. Late spring, summer and early autumn rainfalls are related to ground slope to assess wetness. Egg counts indicated that the estimated worm populations in animals in flat areas with low rainfall were as heavy as or heavier than in animals on steep hilly areas with a high rainfall. It is proposed that tactical anthelmintic treatment be based on the degree of wetness of the grazing or farm.
