The Bovine Practitioner, 1980 Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), also known as bovine malignant catarrh or snotsiekte, is an acute, usually fatal, generalized in disease of cattle and several species of wild ruminants. The disease is characterized by fever, catarrhal rhinitis and conjunctivitis, enlarged lymph nodes, and mortality of nearly 100 percent.

Observations on the epidemiology of malignant catarrhal fever
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1978Summary Geographical differences in the reported incidence of MCF in New Zealand are related to sheep/cattle and beef/dairy cattle ratios in the area. Apparent differences in age susceptibility may be due to differential reporting, but this point needs experimental clarification. The seasonal pattern suggests an increased risk during the peri- and post-

Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is invariably a fatal disease, primarily of ruminants, caused by gammaherpesviruses belonging to the genus Macavirus. At least ten different forms of MCF have been identified; two are very similar and well-known forms of MCF, i.e. wildebeest-derived MCF and sheep-associated MCF. These two forms are clinico-pathologically

Transmission of malignant catarrhal fever to rabbits
Veterinary Record, 1980A farmed red deer in contact with a flock of lambing ewes developed malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Tissues from this deer were homogenised and inoculated into two rabbits one of which developed a febrile response on the 11th day. This rabbit was killed on the following day after developing conjunctivitis and hyperaemia of the nostrils.

Malignant Catarrhal Fever in Greater Kudus
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1974SUMMARY Malignant catarrhal fever was diagnosed in 3 greater kudus (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) at the St Louis Zoo. Clinical signs included anorexia, lethargy, incoordination, shaking of head, photophobia, and copious lacrimation and nasal discharge. Gross necropsy findings included corneal opacity, abomasal ulcers, enlarged lymph nodes, edematous lungs,

An epizootic of malignant catarrhal fever
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1975Abstract Extract Bovine malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) has been reported in New Zealand (MacKinnon and Le Souef, 1956) and in other parts of the world (Blood and Henderson, 1968). The disease has also been reported in deer in Europe (Huck et al., 1961), North America (Pierson et al., 1974) and has been seen in New Zealand (G. Shirley, pers.

Malignant catarrhal fever of deer
Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section B. Biological Sciences, 1984SynopsisMalignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is reviewed and recent findings described. It is defined as a fatal disease which affects many species of Bovidae and Cervidae, characterized by widespread necrosis and lymphoid cell proliferation and can be caused by at least two infectious agents.

Sera from 48 cattle with non-wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) were assayed for antibodies to wildebeest-associated MCF virus. Significant titres were found in 38 sera and these reactions appeared to be specific. Some cases of non-wildebeest-associated MCF may be caused by an agent antigenically related to MCFV.

An Epizootic of Malignant Catarrhal Fever in Feedlot Cattle
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1973SUMMARY A remarkable epizootic of malignant catarrhal fever (mcf) occurred in cattle in Colorado during the winter of 1971-1972. In one group of 231 cattle, 87 (37%) died within 68 days. Twenty-three of the cattle (26.4% of those that died) died following a recognizable disease course of 1 to 2 days, with as many as 5 cattle sick in a single day; 43 of
