catarrhal fever

The zoo discovered the virus after six African antelope fell ill and died in October of malignant catarrhal fever.

The zoo says Thursday that they made the “difficult yet responsible decision” to euthanize the mountain goats last month because of malignant catarrhal fever.

As early as the ninth century several epidemics of catarrhal fever, Italian fever, and the like, which were probably influenza, were made matter of history.

M. le Docteur Roche was sent for: he pronounced the disorder to be a catarrhal fever; the symptoms nothing unfavourable; the perspiration beneficial, but excessive; and ordered the removal of some of the bed-clothes.

Soon afterwards a catarrhal fever or influenza became prevalent.
