The disease in rabbits and rodents is usually characterised by an unkempt coat, depression and fatal diarrhoea. In foals, the disease is an acute septicaemia hepatitis and animals aged between one and six weeks of age are affected. Clinical signs include depression, loss of suckle reflex, severe icterus, neurological signs, pyrexia and diarrhoea. Foals may be found dead without known preexisting clinical signs. The course of the disease from the onset of clinical signs to death is usually around 48 hours.
