 note = {application/pdf, The susceptibility of the West African dwarf goats to experimental Cowdria ruminantium infection was studied over a period of 9 weeks using 10 infected and 4 control animals. All the 10 goats reacted to intravenous inoculation of C. ruminantium infected blood. Two died hyperacutely 12 days post infection (pi) with rectal temperature of 41.0 ± 5℃ as the main clinical sign presented, 3 died 15 days pi exhibiting various clinical signs, the remaining 5 recovered from the infection after maintaining high rectal temperature (41℃ ± 0.5) for 8-9 days. The study shows that West African Dwarf goats are highly susceptible to experimental Cowdria ruminantium infection.},
