Abstract
Smooth (S) and rough (R) types of Branhamella ovis were used alone and in conjunction with Mycoplasma conjunctivae and Chlamydia psittaci in attempts to produce conjunctivitis in lambs. This was only successful with one S-type previously isolated from a clinical case of conjunctivitis. In experimental mixed infection, B. ovis contributed to the severity of ovine keratoconjunctivitis attributable to infection with Mycoplasma conjunctivae. When B. ovis and C. psittaci were inoculated into the conjunctival sac mild conjunctivitis was produced but C. psittaci could not be re-isolated.
