The article cites diseases of small ruminants discussed in the Veterinary Laboratories Agency's disease surveillance report for England and Wales. Clostridium sordellii and Fusobacterium necrophorum funduliforme were isolated from the abomasum of a five-month-old Lleyn lamb. An abomasal worm burden of 13,100 Haemonchus contortus worms was identified in Kent, England. Polyarthritis caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was diagnosed in three yearling sheep examined at Carmarthen, Wales.
