The epidemiological, clinical and pathological features of a disease syndrome in adult cattle grazing woolly-pod vetch (Vicia villosa ssp dasycarpa) or popany vetch (V benghalensis) are reported. Outbreaks of toxicosis occurred between midwinter and midsummer in 3 dairy and 6 beef herds on the north coast of New South Wales, between 1982 and 1992. Friesian, Angus, Murray Grey, Guernsey and Hereford breeds were affected. Mean morbidity and case fatality rates in affected herds were 7% (65 of 889) and 69%, respectively. Signs of pruritic dermatitis, illthrift and death were associated with an eosinophilic granulomatous inflammation of many organs, particularly involving the renal cortex, dermis, myocardium, adrenal glands, lymph nodes and hepatic portal triads.
本文报告了成年牛在采食绒毛荚野豌豆（Vicia villosa ssp dasycarpa）或孟加拉野豌豆（V benghalensis）后出现的一种疾病综合征的流行病学、临床和病理特征。1982年至1992年间，新南威尔士州北海岸的3个奶牛群和6个肉牛群在冬中至仲夏期间爆发了中毒事件。受影响的品种有弗里西亚牛、安格斯牛、墨累灰牛、根西牛和赫里福德牛。受影响牛群的平均发病率和病死率分别为7%（889头牛中有65头发病）和69%。瘙痒性皮炎、消瘦和死亡迹象与许多器官的嗜酸性肉芽肿性炎症有关，特别是累及肾皮质、真皮、心肌、肾上腺、淋巴结和肝门三联征。
