Abstract
Five outbreaks of kerato-conjunctivitis were observed in local sheep in the state of Kelantan in the 18 month period from January 1986 to June 1987. The clinical signs observed were lethargy anorexia unilateral or bilateral lacrimation photophobia blepharospasm mucopurulent eye discharge corneal opacity central hypopyon and ulceration. The average prevalence was found to be 41 percent and 17 animals died from a total of 836 sheep. Four areas were affected; one each in Gua Musang and Machang and two in Rantau Panjang. In two of the five outbreaks Moraxella lacunata and Moraxella sp. Were isolated. A systemic broad spectrum antibiotic was found to be useful in arresting and controlling the disease.
