  1. black disease

    Black disease, also known as infectious necrotic hepatitis, is a fatal disease mostly seen in sheep and cattle caused by the bacteria Clostridium novyi. The bacteria is present in the soil and can infect an animal through wounds or consumption of contaminated food or water, resulting in damage to the liver and producing toxins that spread throughout the body. It is referred to as 'black disease' due to the dark discoloration of the liver and other tissues observed in affected animals. It's most common in animals with parasitic liver infections, which can create the conditions for the bacteria to proliferate. It can be prevented through vaccination.
