Abstract:
A field outbreak of poisoning of cattle by ganskweek (Lasiospermum bipinnatum [Thunb.] Druce) in the Molteno district is described. In addition to the typical histopathological lesion of zonal hepatic necrosis and haemorrhage, pulmonary lesions of interstitial pneumonia, emphysema and bronchial epithelial changes similar to those described in experimental ganskweek poisoning in sheep are reported.
