The disease has been reported in isolated outbreaks throughout the midwest in recent years, ac cording to the American Foun dation for Animal Health. Al though similar to hyperkerato sis and virus diarrhea, the dis ease "is not comparable in all respects to these previously de scribed conditions," the Founda tion said. Research woncers at Iowa State College, where the disease has been studied extensively, termed it ''mucosal disease," be cause it causes ulcers on mucous membranes in the mouth and nostrils of cattle. Foundation officials said a sudden rise in temperature, re turning rapidly to near normal, complete lass of appetite, watery scours, drooling and' emaciation are the principal symptoms. The disease causes ulcers of the nos trils, muzzle, lips, gums, tongue and oral cavity. So far, the Foundation said, treatment has failed. Sulfa drugs and antibiotics have no noticeable effect. The use of blood transfusions caused tem porary improvement in most cases, but relapses followed. Only three animals have been known to survive the disease. Veterinary research workers are continuing their studies seeking, the cause of the condi tion and methods of treatment, Foundation officials added.
