Abstract

An investigation into infestation of sheep and goats with Ctenocephalides canis showed that while only a light degree of infestation was observed in the affected goats, light to heavy degrees of infestation occurred in sheep. In both species a light degree of infestation had no marked effect on the packed cell volume (PCV). Both medium and heavy degrees of infestation resulted in a significant lowering of the PCV of the affected sheep.
