Abstract
Caseous lymphadenitis, caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, is of importance to small ruminant producers worldwide. The chronic persistent nature of the disease process makes it challenging to effectively treat or control once endemic in a herd or flock. This article discusses the recent advances and time-honored methods utilized in the management of caseous lymphadenitis in sheep and goats, as well as the associated advantages and disadvantages of each.
