Abstract / Description of output
New diagnostic measures are currently being developed for the diagnosis of the two leading causes of ovine abortion: C. abortus and T. gondii. These pathogens impact greatly on animal and human health, as well as having a substantial economic effect on the sheep industry. If diagnosis can be rapidly and reliably confirmed, then control measures can be implemented to reduce the impact of these infections in future years and protect the economic viability of the flock.
