Definition

  • Information Infectious epididymitis (ovine epididymitis) is caused by infection with Brucella (B.) ovis. The agent causes clinical or subclinical disease of the genital organs of sheep, which can lead to reduced fertility of rams, sporadic abortions of ewes, and increased perinatal mortality of lambs. In rams, epididymitis causes unilateral or, less frequently, bilateral epididymal swelling. So far, the disease has only been observed in sheep and deer.
