8. GREATEST THREATS
Are susceptible to capture myopathy if over-exerted addition of hyaluronidase to reduce down times
Bull attack of the animal partially immobilized. Protect the darted animal from other bulls
Enterotoxaemia – sudden flush of green grass after fire and poor nutritional condition
Sarcoptic mange associated with poor nutritional condition and stress
Abcesses (thorn veldt - coastal EC)
Malignant Catarrhal Fever
MCF is caused by infection with either the gammaherpesvirus of blue wildebeest, white bearded wildebeest and
black wildebeest or that of domestic sheep
The wildebeest associated virus is the alcelaphine herpes virus 1 (A1HV-!) and the sheep is the ovine herpes
virus (OvHV2). It is of paramount importance in an outbreak situation to identify the relevant type.
In the past strictly Veterinary control measures were applied for the control of the disease and movement of
wildebeest but during 1993.
Legislation to control MCF transmitted by wildebeest was enacted in 1984 in South Africa under the Animal
Disease Act (Act 35 of 1984). The disease was declared a controlled disease and Veterinary controlled measures
for the keeping and movement of wildebeest applied.
During 1993 these controlled measures were lifted and the disease was no longer classified as a controlled
disease.
