Pulmonary diseases of cattle in the Kimberley District of Western Australia.
A survey of pulmonary disease in cattle slaughtered in the Kimberley district of Western Australia, incidental to the monitoring of lungs for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), was initiated in 1969. The results of the first 3 years are reported and indicate the complete absence of CBPP, the occurrence of actinobacillosis as the most common pulmonary lesion, the existence of phycomycosis in a few lungs each year, the frequent presence of subacute and chronic bronchopneumonias and interstitial pneumonias possibly as sequelae of actinobacillosis, tuberculosis and the pneumomycoses, and the relatively low incidence of fibrinous and necrotic pneumonias of other bacterial origin.
