Abstract

Caseous lymphadenitis, caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis has been a predominant disease among small ruminants on farms, causing significant losses for farm producer in the larger part of goat rearing nations across the world, for over a century. However, the control measures have not been very effective due to the chronic and usually subclinical nature of the infection. This has caused significant financial losses due to chronic ill-thrift, carcass condemnation, decreased meat yields and low reproduction as well as animal welfare. The current status of caseous lymphadenitis, with updated reseach information to the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, identification, prevalence, prevention and vaccination are delineated in the review.
