* Cerebellar hypoplasia occurs in all domestic species and is one of most common congenital CNS defects.
====Aetiology====
* Cerebellar hypoplasia may be:
** '''Inherited'''
*** This aetiology is suspected in:
**** Arab foals
**** Jersey cattle
**** Chows
**** Corriedale sheep.
** '''Environmental'''
*** Teratogens selectively attack mitotic germinal cells of the cerebellum.
*** Teratogens (the most important in bold) include:
**** [[Flaviviridae|'''Bovine virus diarrhea''' ('''BVD''')]]
**** [[Parvoviridae|'''Feline parvovirus''']]
**** [[Flaviviridae|Classical Swine Fever Virus]]
