Infectious PI euro-pneumonia of Goats, A summary of the work on this disease only is given, a full account will be written later.

Etiology, The etiology of this widely spread disease has not yet been determined. Van Sacehem, working recently on this disease in Ruanda, states that a cocco-bacillus of the pasteurella group is the cause of the disease, and that he has been able to produce the disease by inoculation of healthy goats with subcultures of the cocco-bacillus, 1 have been able to isolate a Pasteurella from four cases of the disease, but inoculation of these subcultures into goats subcutaneously only produced a slight local reaction.

It is probable that these pasteurellae are only secondary factors in the causation of this disease.
