==Description==

A disease of cattle and sheep caused by ''[[Clostridium haemolyticum]]'' (also known as 'C.novyi' type D) a bacteria from the class [[:Category:Clostridium species|''Clostridia'']]. ''C. haemolyticum'' is found in soil, poorly drained/wet pastures and is highly fatal to livestock. The bacteria produces a beta toxin which causes hepatic necrosis and intravascular haemolysis. Often associated with a disease in the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] that causes anaerobic conditions allowing the growth of bacteria and hence toxin production. The damage to the liver is frequently caused by [[Fasciola hepatica|liver fluke]].
