*Serious infection in pregnant women
Enzootic abortion of ewes. Causes late abortion, premature lambing, retained foetal membranes. Infection is by ingestion. Immunity develops following exposure therefore abortion only in ewes not previously exposed. Aborted foetus may be oedematous with blood tinged fluid in body cavities. Cotyledons are necrotic, covered with exudate while foetal membranes may be thickened and oedematous.
