Palpable lesions within the scrotum but not associated with the testis or epididymis were detected in 20 of 200 merino rams in 3 flocks during routine veterinary examination. In 13 of 15 rams further examined Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis was isolated from the lesions, which were typical CLA type abscesses. C. pseudotuberculosis was not shed in semen, and semen quality was normal in all affected rams.
在对3个羊群的200只美利奴公羊进行常规兽医检查时，发现20只公羊的阴囊内有可触及的病变，但与睾丸或附睾无关。在进一步检查的15只公羊中，有13只从病变部位分离出了伪结核棒状杆菌，这些病变为典型的CLA型脓肿。伪结核棒状杆菌不会通过精液排出，所有受影响公羊的精液质量均正常。
