Abstract
MYCOTIC dermatitis is a common disease of the skin and overlying wool of sheep (and other herbivorous animals).
The photographs show the typical crusts and scabs which result from infection of skin, hair and wool follicles by the mycotic dematitis organism.
This article reviews the causes of lumpy wool infection and sets out control measures.
