  • Title: Ovine hepatogenous photosensitivity caused by the plant Nidorella foetida (Thunb.) DC. (Asteraceae).
    Author: Schneider DJ, Green JR, Collett MG.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1987 Mar; 54(1):53-7. PubMed ID: 2884613.
    Abstract:
    Following a field outbreak of hepatogenous photosensitivity in sheep, an identical condition was reproduced experimentally by dosing 2 sheep with green, homogenized, Nidorella foetida material, collected from the camp where the outbreak occurred. This is a rare, unpalatable, aromatic shrub found in swampy places in the south-western Cape Province. The main lesion was a hepatosis, characterized by peripheral coagulative necrosis and midzonal degeneration in the 2 acute cases and mild bile duct proliferation and hepatic regeneration in the more chronic field case. Botanical, toxicological, clinical and pathological data are given.
