Thence it has at times been carried into Europe, and towards the end of the I9th century into South Africa.

Myiasis is the infestation of live vertebrate animals with dipterous larvae, which for at least a certain period feed on the host's dead or living tissue, liquid body substances, or ingested food. Depending on their reliance on the host, such larvae are classified as obligatory or facultative. Screwworms are classified as obligatory because they feed on live tissue. Screwworm larvae penetrate deeply into a wound of a warmblooded animal and feed on living tissue and body fluid. Facultative larvae, which feed on dead tissue and decaying matter, may be present in wounds — even simultaneously with screwworm larvae. [GrayBook]

Sheep and goat pox (SGP) is an acute to chronic disease of sheep and goats characterized by generalized pox lesions throughout the skin and mucous membranes, a persistent fever, lymphadenitis, and often a focal viral pneumonia with lesions distributed uniformly throughout the lungs.

Silly Calves

Akabane

Slobbers

Slobbers results when horses eat legume forages, particularly clover, which have been parasitized by the fungus Rhizoctonia leguminicola. This fungus produces an alkaloid called slaframine, which is responsible for the excessive drooling and slobbering. Slaframine stimulates glands (i.e. salivary) and smooth muscles. While the fungus most commonly affects red clover, it can also be found on white clover, alsike clover and alfalfa. It forms a nearly invisible black patch on the leaves of the plant, a spot only clearly visible under a microscope. The mold grows best in wet weather and high humidity. Horses are most commonly affected, although cattle, sheep, goats and swine are also susceptible. Along with excessive salivation, symptoms include tearing, difficulty breathing, increased urination and feed refusal, and, in severe cases, diarrhea. There have been reports of aborted foals.
