Abstract
The disease known as Turning Sickness was first recorded by Mettam (1934) in this journal and later more fully described by Mettam & Carmichael (1936). The condition has been defined as a protozoan encephalitis of cattle and one of the most striking features of the disease is the demonstration of schizonts indistinguishable from those of East Coast fever in the cerebral lesions of affected animals.Keywords
